(for Ovais Ahmad)
He took his time to speak,
which he often does,
unknotting the moments,
to qualify it appropriately
so that
I understand exactly
what he intended to convey.
petrichor - you know?
something closer to the feeling,
he paused.
The details then -
he bought that
particular perfume,
although expensive,
because its aroma reminded him
of something he couldn't enter
on his own.
Hence, throughout the day,
happily,
even at night -
he carried his own grave with him
like some personalized pillow,
like crucial documents.
Throughout,
his body was his own grave.
He smelled Human -
spirited and decaying
hic et nunc.
