Songs of Red Feather
written by: Nayana Nair
@slingtheink
i know there is a sky-
a beautiful and scary sky.
inside me
a ball of fiery red feathers,
a concentrated point of all commotion
sings and shrieks about that sky.
it is so irritating
that i know those songs by heart now.
it is irritating
because it is all so pointless.
i know there is a sky-
the only thing i can think about.
but i am a cage.
the sky has nothing to do with me.
I am Nayana, an engineer and a technical writer, who also moonlights as an amateur poet on my personal blog. Writing for me is a process of self realization and being able to create temporary companionship through a poem gives me more joy than anything.
