Surviving The Dispersal Of Self Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Surviving The Dispersal Of Self



Death may be like this, I thought,
Waking up in the dark.
The window sieved no starlight,
Nor my eyelids dream-light.

I groped to clutch
The stem of a lamp-stand,
Which must be there, I said,
Fighting my dispersal.

A tight cloud, anchored still,
But centre-less in seconds.
Death may be like this.

I fought my dispersal.
