Notes of Flute

By Deeksha Agrawal

Chatter inside a cage, the meshed iron

eerie silence of the unseen, a bouquet of

monotonous routines

even the rainbow is reduced to a monochrome

when plugged into the matrix

Chaos decorated fine with shots and wine collapses

before reaching the bed shrinking into a ball of regret and whine

A self-assured artful way of living

clumsy strands of cotton keep erupting

among liquid thoughts Your mind swims

to draw attention into a reality

that is sadly not mainstream

Talk about nature and walks in parks

inside the concrete walls minced with false narratives of an empathic cause

The flock of birds that retire to home with the Sun of dawn

flap in unison

to give a sarcastic applause

No call to wake up can open those eyes they've been snoozing for eons, no surprise The intuition

ducks every hammer but grows mute

as the noises of external waltz into your life

like notes of a flute
