a recluse
plants seeds of weeping willows within the confines of his canary-yellow walls
entrapped by the beauty of luminescent fireflies during ungodly hours
mother bends over to slice poisoned apples and shrivelled berries
while nurturing the undead slowly back to life.
a madwoman
writes erratic letters to an Icelandic poet,
who speaks of misery; and unearthly gyrations in untouched fields.
like poetry lost in translation,
the overbearing fragrance of frangipanis at nightfall drove the lover away.
a noxious tussle for the ages, Apollo, and a wilted sunflower.

About Debopriyaa:
Wildly passionate about poetry and cinema. Maddened by the idea of beauty.
Steeped in bleak nihilism & idealistic hope at the same time, Debopriyaa believes that art, & only art, has the power to heal, disrupt, & transform.
