*THE ALBUM OF THE NUPTIAL ROOM

OR SHE SPEAKS*

Jayan k cherian

 

Sindoor on the parting of her hair

The sign on the horn of the animal

condemned to be slaughtered...

The nuptial bed is the deathbed of jasmines...

The lantern hung itself to death on the roof...

The river that flowed onto the wallpaper...

The wind imprisoned on the painting on the wall...

The earth perched on the axis on the table...

The sun shrunk to the table lamp....

The nuptial room is the death room of light and scent

The poisonous milk of love...

The arena of fleshfighters Love is just a flash in it....

The womb is the eternal habiscus of pains.

No, I will never dream of stars again.
