Life sans life: a poem by Asif Sultan

 Life sans life

05-01-2021


Your life,

Innocent and pure

As a child-

That sucks the marrow

Of joy from the ordinary

trips of ants' tendem,

Experiences ecstacy

In slurping the droopy icecream, 

And deems himself successful 

When stone, launched off his tender hands,

Clangs street-light pole-

Is in 'careful' peril.


The sage on stage

Is whispering in ears

The cacophony of motivation.

Stirring you up 

off your ''ordinary'' Cot, 

Spelling a dream 

Of an extraordinary bed.


What is now left

In the vale of life?

"Just fear," I say

"And life sans Life."
