Most Cheerful Day

 

It is time to leave this place and retreat back to one’s self.

Pack up the items – the coffee cup, the slippers, or

the books, thanking every one for their support.

 

Spend the next days in the best way possible?

If able still, and manage the pain in the heart

More than the agony in the flesh, not even

 

The apparent bright days ahead can create cheer.

It is the best possible ending-

Stay patient while counting days as the strength

 

Drains away like water from the lungs. It may

No longer matter who is around when deep sleep comes,

to never wake up again.

 

But we will all be here to welcome you back,

To give you the warmest hug on a most cheerful day.

Reconstitution

A constitution is a set of fundamental principles, 

Forming a legal basis of a polity. But are principals

Expected to follow principles? Or is it related to

Reconstitution, ammunition, or diminution?

Does constipation follow certain prescribed 

Operational principles leading to holding off

Or delaying what should be exposed, witnessed,

Or preferably just trashed?

But it is unlike the laws of science, or its

Fundamental principles. You jump off a cliff,

For certainty, it will be difficult to reconstitute

Whatever is left after the fall. 

Over There

 

A bond paper on the desk, full of being white,

Is a young man that has not figured out,

And so empty of thoughts or ink, in a blink,

Uncertain of cadences leading to where or nowhere.

 

Unknown where things could be, or should they be,

Picks up and crumples paper, with vigor,

Marching path forward to the trash bin,

Securing a trashed future over there.
