DEPART...

what’s changed?

different time, old places, same homes, different faces.

faint smell, metallic rust cold sweat and evening breeze, stray dogs, all hush unending barks on the lease.

what’s changed?

engines dying, faint sound distant melody, car honk

jay walking, skid walks ritual? much adorned.

ice-creams, bought all, happiness? 2014 fall.

what’s changed?

playmates, stolen light illusion, seems nice.

lucrative doorbells, diverted eyes choked favourite names, no replies

what changed?

noise, smoke, refreshing wind the holy, the sham, the jungle and concrete. leckered flavours, ghats and temples, gory deaths, still here to see.

what changed?

planned escape, plotted flee, feel embraced? run walk, totter crawl, halted pace?

changed

new times, new places, different homes, unknown faces.
