Unhappiness

K.K. Srivastava

UP, India

Terrible unhappiness, the wonder of it

death wish pushed on us unhappiness and life

two sides of one darkness darkness is no experiment.

*

The outside pressing malignance of light flies numbed with waiting for long appallingly we feel like

a dying coal receding slowly.

*

Newness of the room always the same

vying for the most helpless thoughts of unending roads keep musicing us.

*

Life needs big hands to tackle it’s vagaries

what alters these vagaries credulous and waning stillness answers really matter little.

*

Happiness is no virgin

let us not suspend assertions of existence,

dawning on itself is not waking to ourselves.

*

In the idea of distance limping away is no anodyne unhappiness is a secret art though evolved so much

we still stand so still.

*

It stands

it sways where it stands

all that is left before us is horizon

our screams don’t reach there.
