(A poem by V. Shruti Devi, 18th April, 2021)

weird-angle solutions

translations

of khaas (cough ; special)

and we haven't yet got to

mispronounced

all this

from my fleeting thoughts

on fragments from the philosophy

of mathematics

then there's gaaro-khaasi-jayantia

the hills and surrounding circuses

look-alikes, talk-alikes, proxies, would've beens,

                                                    could've beens

defenders of the faith

of the goodness of humans, that's known

and beyond, it's probably about

defending the hypnosis

that concretizes

a reality

vaccines

hex-in

psychosomatic

antidote

a phantom cigarette's

a good-enough smoke!
