To define a need
is to label an ocean
sinking the same shore
that contains it
filled up to the brim
and then some
but the sinking shore holds on
and the waves
erase and rewrite
the same story
a thousand odd times
or a thousand different stories
each time
the need is the voice they no longer have
but these words, they no longer need
perhaps the need is mine
to feel this primal romance
now lost in translation.

Oh!so wonderful, I guess we drown deep in the sea of need and desire.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vandana. The sea of needs and desires is indeed very deep.
