today, an alley blew up into colours a slow song of duality between war and beautiful hues embedded the sky with confusion- how could confetti look like broken glass and screaming children, crying adults and running dogs- how could noise sound like the start of a nightmare and darkness, the tiny wounds that scream disease, 'save yourselves!' to the babies who suck their mother's tears, 'run!' to the ones who've always loved their homes but now the corners of their mind is a battlefield. forces of all kinds blow wind to shut down the fractional catastrophe that lasted for a lifetime ending with the orchestral hymn of names of the dead- voiceless ones who never made it. of the ones who've harbored a home under cars, on the road, among siren sounds, bullet holes and metal rods, their ghosts singing a slow song of war for their loved ones whose lives have been concealed in their minds.
