ACCOMPLICES I SEEK
Silence irks me
Silence scares me
Silence is unbearable
at times
My silence makes him
thoughtful
MM seems to be Silence's
abode
An identity I want
to blow up
I hear it has been
so for over four years
Dad would be an accomplice
in it
With the dude it is
mission impossible
Dad who is accustomed
to the noise of workshops
Was amused by his chattering
love
In the moment he lost
her
Silence descended on
their abode
Rakshashan is a silent
killer
Ma hadn't succeeded
in changing his ways
She had watched his
pranks and antics
A smile adorning her
face
A life growing within
me has quietened me a bit
He is so distanced
and aloof
It shakes me up a bit
We break our silences
over skype and texts
Taunts and jibes eject
me of silent moments I slip into
I try to reach for
people
Bury myself in work
Solitude is dangerous
My voices begin a concert
Unable to grapple with
myself
I throw a fit or sing
I want him then by
my side
ENOUGH II he hiss
Hold me close as our
lub dub blend in unison
Rock me in his arms
as if
I were a baby in his
care
Sam would do all she
could
To see the kanjaks
bring laughter and our mirth
Her boding is that
an angel
Is what safely in me
I bear
Her arrival here I
hope brings noise into our home
