Imperfect Tense

Music: Aisha - Lehrein

Strange emptiness. Stillness in air.
Exhaust sound. Sucking life-force.

Desk calendar. Wrong month.
Dusty plastic rose. Illegible memories.

Wall clock. Cheap Christmas star.
Swinging pendulum. Etching scars.

Dirty carpet. Chaotic pattern.
Half footprint. Indelible mark.

Glass window. Twilight haze.
Random sparrows. Yet mockingbirds.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

Distant skyline. August clouds.
Abandoned structure. Dream on.

Flickering neon. Traffic-jam horns.
Silent heartbeat. Muted gloom.

~ Ankur.
