burntMUD

my feet are useless

can not navigate

is this because of inversion?

hazy observation

obscured by lethargy

two people walk in silence

their thoughts drowned

in the noise of drops hitting

the slippery floor.

are they in love

are they seeking something

still? have they given up

a tire skids and the

reflections are smudged now

we do not know what happens beyond

was it an end?

maybe.

Our thoughts are with the people of India right now as they combat a devastating second wave of Covid-19 infections. The country of 1.4 billion has recorded nearly 18 million cases of the virus overall and currently accounts for at least one-third of all confirmed Covid-19 cases in the world— the highest share reached by a single country since the early stages of the pandemic. Many experts fear that these startling statistics are underreported. Some models estimate cases are five times higher than reported, and one believes cases could be 30 times greater than records show.

This Overview shows New Delhi, India’s capital. This section of the city was planned by British architects Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker with a design centered around two promenades — the Rajpath and the Janpath — that run perpendicular to each other and intersect at the center of this image.

Moscow is the capital and most populous city in Russia, with about 13 million residents it its city limits and more than 20 million in its metropolitan area. The city is organized into five concentric transportation rings that surround the Kremlin, all of which can be seen here. Moscow sits on the Moskva River, which is connected by canal to the Volga River, ultimately giving the capital city access to five seas: the White Sea, Baltic Sea, Caspian Sea, Sea of Azov, and the Black Sea.

1. Look at the mirror.

2. Feel the gaping hole in your heart.

3. Think of the food you yet again dumped in the trash.

4. Life, aging, time, fading.

5. Hear the voices and how most of them are only yours.

6. Another step in a clueless direction.

7. Remind yourself of the past and how you don't match up to it any longer.

8. A non chronological montage of failed relationships - some that ended eventually, some that never took off.

9. That gaping hole, yep, still there.

10. Smile. And realize how you don't feel it.

to classify things in little boxes

work goes into grey

and passion goes into orange

art goes into blue

and there goes my poetry too

yellow has love

and anger goes in red

it always baffled me

how valentine's cards were all red

yesterday, after night fell

the light wouldn't go on

all my coloured boxes

i couldn't tell apart

i didn't fidget

didn't want a mess

but today woke up to find

both love and anger

huddled together in red.

can't make sense of it

but i don't reject it

need to dust away the green box

that i have ignored far too long

that has both envy and empathy

contrary to popular belief

(it's not that popular, wish it was)

things don't disappear

even if you ignore them for long enough

sigh, i shrug and sit

at the most coziest corner of my bed

pile up all my stationery

and write a letter-

words, art and draw a heart
