For the Benefit of Termites
it is in the nature of woodwork
to remain fragile, tender chlorophyll
could not have said it better
while feeding the leaves of grass;
slow decay is how it happens, eats
from the inside and crumbles
the inner resolve
like words that scar
and wound the soul
obliterating the man
completely

Ashish,
Really liked how this poem is structured. Welcome aboard!
Pragya
Splendid economy!
When I read it last time it felt differently, when I read it now it feels differently. Maybe my brain is termite eaten? Crumbling.
