“The situation is tense
but under control”
A nice expression
of our Doordarshan.
Everyday I can feel
the skull beneath the skin.
Counting the dead bodies
in a city’s corridor –
almost a daily ritual.

with stitches across her face
survived anyhow.

After some days
a new year will come
like an obstinate insurance agent.
Once again you will hear
horrors eclipsing my land–
the situation may be tense
but it is always under control.
