If my words could blaze,
Would I need fire to burn
trash from existence?
If my tears could stain
Would I need ink to write tales
of fathomless pain?
If my sighs could sing
Would I need symphonies to
tune dissonant souls?
If my curse could kill
Would I need benedictions
or better be safe?
It’s better, be safe
and burn the litter of life
before it’s too late.
— Sangeeta Mishra
