Naked Alphabets

 

Naked Alphabets

I was already in her apartment

Looking everywhere, not for her

But for my letters, old and forgotten

 

I left parts of myself, private and secret

Hidden and submerged, drowned deep

Into the abyss of the naked alphabets

 

I was not sure about her, where was she?

Had she taken all the letters with her, or

The letters drove her away, far away

 

Far away from the fantasies, imported

Far away from her make-ups, old and new

Far away from the illusions, deeply anchored

 

It was raining all day like monsoon

With thick clouds hovering stubbornly, and

All my shadows were too faint to be noticed

 

Few memories kept coming on at random

Few memories were too shy to reappear, again

I was worried for my letters, old and forgotten
