We need shelter from ourselves.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Creative</strong> <strong>Process</strong><br />
We hide in our own houses, bury our hearts in postcards that will<br />
never get responded to,<br />
And we wait.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sun rises differently this time.<br />
She wakes and howls so loud for the loss <strong>of</strong> all the soldiers that it<br />
burns up everything.<br />
And everything is reverberating with the echoes <strong>of</strong> bullets<br />
that have long killed the birds that ever wanted to fly.<br />
This is how it ends, doesn't it?<br />
Not with a bang but a silence so loud, the stillness makes death<br />
quiver on his throne.<br />
--<br />
Tamarind Fall is <strong>The</strong> Mumbai Art Collective’s Poet in Residence.<br />
She likes to write about everything, especially the universe, spilled<br />
ink, shattered glass and broken hearts. <strong>The</strong> world is always an<br />
inspiration she can’t get enough <strong>of</strong>. She’s pursuing quantum<br />
mechanics but in her free time, she also likes to do photography,<br />
play games and read books.<br />
