Mother's Day Poem from Yuyutsu Sharma's upcoming book, "In Lord's Messy Workplace: New Poems

My misgivings

 Yuyutsu Sharma



Mother’s Day

 

I don’t have anything

to post on my wall today.

 

I see them debating

forgotten frontiers of humanity’s walk.

 

Lysol, Liberty, Languages

lighting lamps, banging plates

 

pranks to raise demons

from their hidden dungeons.

 

Mother’s Day.

 

I don’t have anything

to post today.

 

Only shady sketch

of my loud betrayals

 

slowly eating the innards

of my fast-fading body

where the Lord rests,

keeping a rigorous

 

record of my misgivings.
