Dampness
                    
                    Now  ….. all around
As if a desert spread
And feet sinking in scorching sunlight
In the palms 
A dryness…
A feel of total loss… 
Whatever I touch 
Feel like as if a rubber sheathe
Draped around the whole body..
The mirages 
Spread  in the 
Vale of the eyes
Have turned to glass
And a feel of non-absorbance
Everything a colorless, bland
Concoction like venom
Running down the larynx
As a fossil, pain unfelt
A banning hue and cry in and out
Inclining towards solitude…
In this atmosphere of chaos
Tongue parched and 
Dehydration
Chases ….
The moist of a
Tiny tear dropp 
Fathoms deep
Still keeps me alive 
A human (?)  
Before you……
