Supposed Soul Poem by Raj Arumugam

Supposed Soul



The rose grows in
the soil in your tongueless mouth
The weeds feed
on the nutrients in your armpits
From your navel rise
the grass whose blades cut the air
Your sockets house the lichen

You knew that all before your death,
as you were wise;
you consoled yourself with a supposed soul
