From the list of things that made me move to mountains and more importantly, to stay here is the strikingly disturbing yet understandable act of surrender by every human and non-human that ever existed to nature. The first time ever i heard a neighbour casually mentioning a Bolero falling into a gorge nearby, I was taken aback quite a few steps. The confidence and acceptance with which they proclaimed all the passengers dead was horrifying a year ago to me. For most of my life, i have seen how plains as compared to mountains are always in a state of rebellion with people, rivers, diseases, animals, neighbours, Gods and most importantly death. The unconditional reception mountain people have to offer was alien to me and still shakes me to the core some days. Mostly nights. Or early mornings.

Warmest cheeks in a while. Equally warm ears, palms, nostrils and throat. I read your letter today. The one you scheduled sent me on my birthday while you were unavailable. I brought my now skewed face to the mirror. It's deformed mud now. I can feel it melting in a free fall. Dripping through the chin, there goes the eyelids, it's all a giant mass of wet soil. Mud is a derogatory word. Isn't it. I'll call myself wet soil instead. There drops the last few pieces of self.

यू, मी एंड सिगरेट्स

I have hair in my hands
Or hands in my hair.
Rockin' an invisible chair
Invisible chair
You can't see my face
It's sawed in half
Lying far away
From the invisible chair
Invisible chair

Rockin' in my head
In my head
Is a throbbing blood clot
That I got from laughing
On an unfunny joke
While getting a syringe shot
Breathing out and out
I am lying in my house
Rockin' an invisible chair
Invisible chair

You can't see my hair
Nor my hands or arms
Coz am breathing out and only out
Wide eyed hawk befriends
A meek cock on the wall
Coz they can see the invisible chair
The cock waits for food
The hawk too
Waiting for the chair to stop
