Stasis

By Reeti Jamil

STASIS

Tell me if the road stops,

Where roads meet

And then stop again.

Yet, one never advances

While suspended in mid-air,

Unable to come down or fly higher.

.

Is one then as powerful as gulls and eagles?

Or an impractical fool eager to reveal skills?

Or then, neither but both and conceited —

Thinking that all errors can be acquitted?

Are we so myopic, disorderly and defeated?

.

Tell me if the road stops,

If I stop,

Or my heart stops.

Despite legions of errors,

I cannot call myself human.

.
