someone
who loves you is finding it hard
to speak to you,
it is sad indeed
you do not even notice this
the stutter of words
the shy syllables move back to the throat
when the speaking is begun
it is like dancing the ballet
the toes always tipping
and the body busy balancing itself
in order not to fall
and then be shamed.
it has become a public knowledge
borne over the airwaves
and print
you have severed so many heads
in the jungle
and so many lives had been wasted
unaccounted
and talking to you too
even from someone who loves you
has become
one big burden
this notorious deal
when will this end?
