Poetry from Sushant Thapa | SYNCHRONIZED CHAOS

Young South Asian man with short brown hair, clean cut, and a gray striped collared shirt. He's outside in front of a building with white columns and a glass entryway and vines and trees and flags.
We and Our Game

A game I play
Is your cheerful clappings.
Happiness I treasure
Is your smile.
My childhood art
Is your first craft.
We are one
Holding hands
Before we cross the roads.
Rose carpet decorates
The steps that climb
The difficulty hill, full of spirit.
We exchanged letters
And our handwritings matched.
Your city,
Is my tunnel to suburb vacation.
We cross ways like arrows
And take a target shot of life.
The game we play
Isn't a whistling wind
But the rope mesh of ladder
Of this nascent paradise
That we are still building
Despite all the odds.
