Matrix

By Sushmita Lahkar

For a glitch in the matrix, 

Two worlds collided, unnoticed.

Luminous stardust filled their hearts and seeped into skins,

In a distant Milky way, unbeknownst.

The cup wasn’t ever full, yet it quenched, 

Like elixir for the parched soul.

Ascending and luring into a lucid trance,

Where Time itself turned to an hourglass of timeless abyss.

Drifting into the surreal oneness that shattered and united all at once, 

Gravitating in an alien Matrix.
