The familiar forgotten feelings mark a blue moon return. A knot in my mind that I thought had unravelled reveals its survival, as it resurrects. An ugly moon hidden by the clouds. I know no other way to talk about it other than talking about it as if it is something other than what it…

Inconsistency is something I have been battling lately. I give too much power to my mind to wreak havoc with its lazy and destructive patterns. Control is what I seek and the more I seek it, the more it evades me.The next step in my development would be to capture consistency in my writing and…

In the evening I see shapes of people attempting to get fit from my window. I see in them familiar shapes and faces, enough for me to feel the urge to go outside and meet them. My eyes focus on one such familiar-looking individual. He drags himself slowly with his head down, unaware of…
