Of things you need to know
I need to speak to you. To whisper into your ear the thoughts that keep appearing in my head ,after momentary lapses when I gladly close my eyes and refuse to see the world. To relieve myself of a burden.
I have been thinking...
About the man who gives signals to trains all day and how his life would be. A silent frame of reference in a noisily moving world. Standing by the window with a flag and seeing the world pass by. I wonder what he thinks then, or when the world around him is as static as he is.
About the shells I used to collect as a kid from mounds of clay lying in front of neighbour's houses. How I used to believe they came from the sea. How I tried finding living creatures in them.
About piggy banks. How I thought I'd collect enough money in one to buy a mercedes.
About a violin that keeps playing inside my head. Different tunes every time.
About darkness and the kites I used to fly in it. Letting the string go, trusting the night, Of how it never betrayed me..
You live too much in the times gone by, don't you?
ReplyDelete@Aadya-Going by what commonly is interpreted as "too much", yes. However that was not the point here.
