Insomnia and Ink
By Devika Mathur
It is a memoir of bottled conversations
that my hand does to my mouth
and my mouth to my burning yellow skin.
Phosphorescent petals sinking,
and churning a swirl, a mollusc of corals
with drips of ink inside my vein
something supernatural occurs,
pieces of stardust falls and pause
and repeat.
Wonderfully penned!!
You have described it perfectly, Insomnia and Ink.
