Eclipse

Eclipse

written by: Nidhi Agrawal

 

Why are you oblivious of the
eclipse — lunar and solar?

I slide into the blackouts and
swoon at the sight
of light,
every time
your third eye is latched.

Without you
caves are massacred
lions and bears go unsheltered.
my love is unrequited and
the Sun is diagnosed with depression.
Oh lord of the highest peaks!
Cast a glance at me.
Why are you oblivious of the
eclipse — Lunar and Solar?

My knees collide against the mountains
to find you.
Grief pours into the slurry
between the gullies of
Sun and the Earth.
Hope descends into the receptacle of death.
My skin is lacerated by
the voracity of the wolves sent by the demons.

Oh lord of the highest peaks!
Without you,
lands are demarcated
stars scatter
and the moon overpasses its lunacy.

Nidhi Agrawal

Nidhi's work stems from the distinct theories illustrated in the religious texts such as Vedas and Purana. She has worked on the concept of Ardhanareeshvara, psychological disorders and her pieces are coordinated amicably with different subjects such as natural disasters, agony, complex realism and profound affairs of day to day life. Subsequently, she writes as she talks to God!
