A Day In Selynx

By Navni Patni

the colour is gone.

the world is black and white.

mostly grey,

and none other in sight.

there’s no bone,

only pieces.

there’s no flesh,

only creases,

as eyes tickle tears,

as cuts prickle fears,

as brows crinkle near.

it’s all there,

it’s all fine,

all at once, lost,

but still divine.

but there’s a sorrow,

in the clouds.

they’re always white,

but now, for once, brown.

still, the dust will settle,

the eyes will clear.

but till then, it’s all still fine.

all at once, lost.

all at once, here.
