WALLS<br />

PRABHA PRAKASH<br />

Sometimes I forget to build those walls-<br />

Yes, those rigid and ugly walls<br />

Around myself.<br />

Even as I could see shrewd minds masquerading effortlessly<br />

Within the flexible edges<br />

Of the erstwhile stiff structures;<br />

I quiver and twist within my own self<br />

Incapable of shielding the vulnerabilities<br />

At times of uncertainties,<br />

I wonder and stare<br />

Baffled at the crowd;<br />

Checking out the virtual looking glass from the corner of my eyes-<br />

And witness a hundred brittle walls<br />

Dilapidating into superfluous fragments<br />

Teaching me countless lessons on doctrines of realism.<br />
