Self Portrait

Self Portrait

Strengthless legs. Gutless wrists.
Angry, eyeful mists. Alone. Accumulate.

Twisted bent spine. Benumbed back of an arc.
Like a question mark. Pontificate.

Demented, delusional. All day I ramble.
Words in ink amble. Intervalled. Spaced.

I am, to myself, useless. Lament.
This failed experiment. Lord above.

- Sandeep Khare.
