Stillborn by Pitambar Naik

Writer's picture: The Mark Literary ReviewThe Mark Literary Review

Some prove the calculus wrong at the moment

saying I was a dead star in a ghetto of epilepsy

of April’s explanation and was from right to left

shivering in minus 105 degrees

you’re whitewashing all stains of death with chocolates

I encounter with a cliché of grimace—the prima facie

almost routinely for months you disappear

and say, I’m absolutely stillborn

I’m a dead star yet I blaze no minus pandemonium

among millions of butterflies’ innocence, certainly!
