किताब से:

Desire
In a big
courtyard
racing a
small bicycle,
round and round,
a child of seven
doesn’t know
which part
of the world
he is in.

He doesn’t know
since when,
the huge,
golden sphere
shining throughout
the dawn till dusk
is wandering
across the
sky blue ground,
hanging
upside down,
above his head.

He doesn’t
even know
from where does
suddenly
the machine birds
appear,
whizzing angrily
across the
sky blue ground
and drop
balls of fire
around his house

He only understands
this much,
that even after
so much
being effaced
around him,
he is the
only one
left with
two legs,
one bicycle
and the desire
to race it
fast,
round and round,
race it
fast
round and round

Identity
I am constantly
losing my identity,
getting smaller
and even
more small.

Suppressing my anger
and frustration,
I find myself
changed into
different forms.

The mirror too
is surprised
to see my image,
for I’m taking
a new shape
each day.

Sensitivity
within me,
seems to have
drained,
for nothing
is left now,

Whatever remains
outside,
is consuming me,
and I am
consuming it too
