    //An Envelope//

    Slowly and slowly
    A pain revolved in my body,
    One day
    When, an envelope blew off few words
    Painfully.

    It traveled a long distance of time
    And remained unopened for years
    Under the thick bed of the old lady
    Called grandmother,
    Under the cover which wasn’t since
    She occupied the room behind ever rooms
    Being affected by a disease
    Doctors named as age.
    She never went to coma
    Nor her aging infections were fatal yet
    She was removed the day she
    Stopped and could fight with generation.

    She was declared old and useless
    As her eyes and body could not
    jump over the modern household and
    pillars of modern syntax.
    As her smell dominated the aroma
    Of room spray and in- scent -sticks
    that let the god take a good smell.

    She remained there coughing,
    Alarming like a chimed clock,
    Least proof of her existence
    For some ten months
    For sometimes on the lap of her official son
    For some times looking at the spider’s web
    Which she noticed as a rope form the sky
    Until she
    Lost her vision,
    Lost her organs.
    Until she gasped her last sigh
    And became motionless,
    Until she was carried and buried
    Like an old unused chair in the corner of the house,
    Until the room was cleaned
    And until

    I found the envelope stuck in a line gap of her
    Reaming reminiscences.
    carried her handwriting to her son.

    The pain started revolving in me.
