PARTURITION!
And then amidst the clamor of prayers And chittering of the birds God bled! And the pole star like the midwife Brought out the child, Night was born!
THE LINGERING FRAGRANCE!
That duffle bag in the attic Gasping under the weight of dust Still holds your smell! The other day I had opened it Your body mist had spilled in it The one you had bought, On our last trip to Italy. I always envied your taste! My mind all muddled now. Did you buy that for he liked it? Yet you had rested your head On my chest. I was lost in the fragrance! Believe me, I didn’t realize my love had Metamorphosed! I wish I had trodden carefully The bug could have been alive! Alas, me and my Kafkaesque life!

Unique metaphorical usage of
God to a woman and polestar to a midwife is something that’s really quite bold. It kindled my imagination and am trying to visualise it 🤣
Being an ardent fan of Kafka, the poetry made me read Metamorphosis again.
