A Captive

By Udita Banerjee

A CAPTIVE

This poem stands as a big yellow wall.
I see multiple montages through its crevices,
A bag of preyed dreams,
The corpses of half-burnt friendships,
The shifting silhouette of an intangible love.

This poem is a big yellow wall,
Growing taller by the weight of silence.
I live inside its slowly dying edges,
A captive for eternity.
