Half a Sunset - Sarvajeet D Chandra
A city of half a sunset
The other half of sunset, unseen
A city of half an acquaintance
The other half, a gaggle of unfamiliar beings
The elephant deity wages a fiery battle
Against monsters of half-truths, deceit
As the pandemic adds a mask
To the multitudes of faces we wear
The skyscrapers gaze quietly
Half-listening to my voiceless songs
The in-between-ness of a migrant life
The blank, blank emptiness of days
Sleek billboards sell half-baked dreams
What we possess never seems enough
Rejigger yourself, add speed and shine
Keep running, you aren’t good enough
I try hard to take the city out of me
In a distant resort, full of sea and stars
The city fumes inside, it’s discontent
Keeps lingering like a half-hearted exile
The sea comforts me in many ways
It devours the grisly yesterdays in me
Reconditions my half-happy tomorrows
As I ebb and flow again, with streams of strangers
