Poems
By Nikita Parik
Aura
Bitter hospital air, coupled
With the cacophony
of foreign smells,
Makes her squirm
With unease
Meanwhile
Scarlet roses in green vases
Wilt comfortably
in the costly air
Of the MD's chamber.
Essentially Existential…
Beyond the gigantic stretches of vacuumed blue,
Beyond the spatiotemporal laws and rules,
Beyond love and hope and faith and virtue,
Beyond the ubiquitous questions of ‘ich’ and ‘du’,
Lies the eternal truth.
