Sushant Thapa
One person’s consciousness
Cages another’s diction
Words are mistaken and taken for granted
An outsider influence casts the net of death.
Reveal the fragrance of the flowers waiting for you
An indoor plant, so be it!
Even if you get caged inside your home,
Bloom like the colourful charming petals of an indoor plant.
They can share friendly values to you if they
Already share the room within you and the house.
If you will reveal them,
A net of delight can always get cast, and the passing
Moments can always arrest you.
