Jester


as I pulled the mask away
I stared at death itself

bursting into laughter
at the joke and folklore of living
I understood why one needed
jest a minute
to live minute by minute

in breaking
broken
pieces

Bhai,

While the words are piercingly sharp, the mask is mutedly dull and yet with its squinting cowri eyes is penetrating through one's soul.

Love them both.
