WHEN LETTERS DANCE ON  THE PAGE

  
 
“Disappear,” I said.
They denied.

Didn’t  the Casanova at the theatre
Return  my ravishing smile last night?
The burgundy magic on greys! 
 
 Ironed with botoxed shots
The dry asparagus turns glossy;
 Ready for the salad?

Midriffs declining, disappearing -
Decelerating; the passion of aping
A teenager for a climacteric  but works.

The dried raisins, falling leaves 
And the  faded  chrysanthemums-
Augmented, tucked in, liposuctioned.

The one  who was being stared at, 
Loses it all ;  the pretence withers,
The efforts in vain.

I loved them the most
But they now scare me- 
The letters  diffusing,   hyperopic.

Behind the lens, the zombies
Make me close my eyes-  the mirror
Was never so unfriendly.

Progressive, focal, horn-rimmed,
Rimless – nothing works. They just
Simply refuse to go. 


At the restaurant, travelator, bus 
My glory shrouds as I struggle to 
Settle the  glass diptych on my nose.
  
“Disappear,” I say to them.
They  deny.
