Confounded - S,Jagathsimhan Nair

CONFOUNDED ( COLLABORATION ) by~ S.Jagathsimhan Nair When tension grips and the head reels In its ever accelerated twirl When two rays dangle from two flayed poles, And the dumb loss of a moment’s truth Looks so conspicuous and an eminently Forgettable lapse of an inoffensive world When the gentle genre to which the slamming Of an ever open door in the face of The rare perspicacity and purpose shown By a soul, a land and a generation belongs Looks so commonplace; when the benign Visitor’s countenance does indeed despair And crave a black visor above the originality Of its expansiveness and the staggering degradation Of its vitality; I have this great ache’s abundance Stirring in my cupped palms, held out in supplication, Till it rests, for an ever lasting understanding Ever in the vision, ever into its aftermath. by~ p.d. The "aftermath" of any loss seems to consist in any form. An aster plea subsiding every look. Behind glory behind redemption~ Giving rest to the velocity speeding force Creations of fantasy and religion and imagination I paint the skies with my fingertips, to feel the mass The world trembles at the knowledge of relativity. "I sit in displeasure, injecting every generation into my veins!" New born babies, born into this puzzled abyss. Bewildered minds accepting stupendous addictions. A poison to taste every sunrise, Forbidden tongues baffle the night Mental representation, stirring up conflict Foiled toes to hold and worship. Steady vision behind these eyes so confounded. a collaboration with* S,Jagathsimhan Nair my collaboration contest
