Those Moments of Living with Myself
by Pragalbha Doshi

The Earth
of my Being
as if is splitting
into parts
yet again
Dry lands
of my emotions
as if fueling
Fires
of my thoughts
Wildfires spreading
no tears raining
to feel the wet
some churning felt
Ice blocks
of my poetry
as if thawing
trickling
through the cracks
Rivers stagnant
of rejoice
as if flowing
yet sludge still
Winds of my Being
as if feel
the pulsation
of Earth
from core
to all parts
on surface
Forest of my heart
as if cries
incredulously
how the hell
Earth holds up
as one whole
Minefield of my mind
struggles
to hold together
all lands of me
Where the hell
is she
who knows
how to
go beyond
this mind
