Imagine you have run a marathon, you haven't slept in 24 hours and you're one joint down and your boyfriend leaves you. Of course, it's because you fucked up. You slept with someone while traveling. That affair didn't last long, but the chats did. Your boyfriend discovers three month old chats where you are all lovey-dovey with the other guy. Boyfriend says, I could sniff romance. I don't trust you anymore. Besides, you bitched about me with him. I feel disrespected. You say of course, you have all the right to. You have all to write too. A momentous marathon, a long walk, coming to an end, a story beginning to emerge.

She was sitting with her legs sprawled out on him.
He was writing a short story on his phone.
He didn't have an idea how to begin,
so he asked her for the first line. She said,
'Begin a story with my legs sprawled out on you.'
He did so, but he lost track of the story
and ended up writing about the story rather
than what was inside of the story.
Her sprawled out legs. She retreated her legs
and went inside. The story followed her like
a tail and smuggled under the blanket with her.
Now the story is snuggling with her,
while he's outside on the sofa, sleepless,
looking for the missing story.

Being with you is like
walking in a warzone,
each step carefully taken
lest I might knock off
a landmine, blowing my peace
into pieces. It is difficult
to be with a difficult someone,
and while I have all my sympathies
with you for being raised
in a fractured home plastered with
violence — of words, whys and walls,
I don't think I can love someone
when they are healing,
when they are yet to learn
how to love themselves.

I put my hands
under your shirt
and try to hold
you by the spine.

Before I know,
you throw me
on the bed, pull
and sniff my line.

Is it dinner?
I ask, my fingers
buried in you.
You say: fine dine.

Love to me is going to sleep on the master bed diagonally, like the Vitruvian Woman, when you’re gone but waking up on my side of the bed.

Love to me is finding presence in your absence, everywhere, even in my sleep.

I love you like plants love water.

Not too much. Nor too less.
Just right.

You love people who care for you.
I love people who care about themselves and then, everyone else.

Why do you think it will work?

The young parents who are bhakts right now will be hated by their woke kids when they grow up much more than woke adults hate their old bhakt parents now.
