Chittaranjan Dash, Delhi, 30 July 2023
You are always trapped in an abyss, a loop, a warp
You keep writing the same poem again and again
You keep dreaming the same dream every night
You fall in love with the same person again and again
It is one picture in your mind you shoot umpteen times
It is one second that you live replicating like DNA
But it is many selves that greet you from mirror
Plundering arrows of many shadows strike your body
Million illusions of One God make you run as a hyena
Rippling reflections of many worlds swipe at your soul
Endless caravan of questions parrot a profound truth
Rainbows, flowers, love and laughter obscure oblivion
