Steps
The auric field
Of my own nemesis
Own your tribe
Nurture the sockets of your heart
As if a newly polished
High school ground
That transports your
Little brittle garden
Into a big pool of
Melancholic ambrosia.
My other half as if it
Gently spoke my rawness
My wet treasured hydrangeas
Into a wooden coffin of
Tumultuous laughing stock
The soft peached rainbow
Bulking around the lawn
The little trinklet of a choir
My sudden bemused allegory
It's fair enough
Leaden steps
With my own nemesis
One thought on “Poetry from Sayani Mukherjee”
“The auric field/of my own nemesis…My sudden bemused allegory/it’s fair enough”
I think this poem has some deep things to say about the concept of nemesis and what is fair, or unfair, about discomfort.
