! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! “refreshed” Poem by Rehan Hyder

this time it fluttered so voraciously
that breath trembled; scampered to hide
underneath the satiety of fear
I turned to tarot of thoughts; palmistry
of smoothened, planed hands
if this moment is what we have
whispered hollered and muted about
I’m ready to abandon the parcel of life
this sack of bricks and take up residence
at the doorsteps of the uninterested ….
rather narcissist sea
I’ve heard it and understood that
in the entire saga of toad, kiss and princess
I was always the sodden underside of the leave....
