Reheated road
Reheated road retired by moving pandemonium,
Altercating, bitching, clamoring and demanding
sluggishly set forward
Birds and flies dispersed towards different directions
Their infuriate cry overspread the moving commotion
Against the riot the power standing
highly fortified, uniformed with stars
Attentively antagonized, barricading with iron bars
behind the fuming
Uproar reached closer
and disagreement sparking
Bottles, stones, whatever touching hands took wings
High torn and overfilled emotions animated
in place of confirmation, coordination, and correlation
flushing water, smoky gas and rubber bullets
find way to reach a peaceful solution
tears, vain juice and screaming
flowed without win nobody
Road reheated seeking solution treatment!
Jayaratne Weerakkody
In thine altercating world
mystified trauma holds the nature beneath its feet
tranquilizing the cluttered spirit.
Behind the obscure wall of realism,
he lay there unmoved
cutting his tongue
by his own teeth
repenting in dust and ashes.
In the faded light,
I see dark patches all around
breathing in isolation,
I hear the drunken vowels of misery:
the ecstasy floating in air
-paralysed.
And they sleep with their partners
in the closed closet
with their black apparels on
hoping for a moon to rise
as the night passes
in the midst of the street!
-A fantasy?
-A reality!!
