Sumaiya Akbar Richi

As I dive into the ocean of darkness–
My entire existence gets shaken.
The seer within me sees nothing but–
Those seemingly interminable days.
Those screams in my head that couldn’t reach my respiratory system.
Those bleeding bits of fabric I witnessed.

I wish it was just a prolonged dream!
I wish I did not have to enter that dark vacuum-like object!
I wish I had not seen those facsimiles of unknown scribble!
I wish I would not feel nauseous for years; thanks to the revolting solution.

The droplets of memory are left in my back, mocking the desires.
