Illustrations galore,
vivid and variant-
inscribed like inhouse litigants
they unfasten
to fasten you into a web-
a web of uncertainty.
Like a bathing scarecrow,
amidst the greenery,
bare yourself
matching to the demands
wearing out from inside.
Until then
respond to the flashing light
and get decoded.

Night
As soon as I
switch off my bedroom light
the opaque dungeon
that lie inside
open up
like eerie-glowed phosphorus.
Nights are
like multiple choice questions
and the answers-
range from
life here to life hereafter.
