Apoplexy Poem by indira babbellapati

The music stopped
the dance too

Jarring silence
Bruised feet
Fading lights
Unsettled heart

Broken pieces
In tears
Multicoloured heap
In a corner

The music stopped
the dance too

The lips
You painted
Before the show
Had been stuck
On the mirror
In the green room

The heart
Highstrung at the touch
Hangs like a rag
Along the other clothes

The music stopped
the dance too

Silence...? ? ?
Silence...! ! !

Silence...
