ANXIETY
-ALTIPAT KRISHNA RAMANUJAN
It has naked roots and a secret twig
Not geometric as the parabolas
of hope, it has loose ends
that's me.
Not wakeful in its white-snake
glassy ways like the eloping gaiety of waters.
it drowses, viscous, and fibered as pitch.
Flames have only lungs. Water is all eyes.
The earth has a bone for muscle. And the air
is a flock of invisible pigeons
