The Envelope – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Envelope

By Silpa Anand S

A pretty envelope
A big smiley pasted
Comfort and love laced
Behold it and seeth jealousy
Coveted, adored, worshipped
Open sesame… And lo!
A world of virgin decimations.
Searing pains, tears restrained
Force, hopes erased
Stench, worms and sweat
Reek obscene
Filth and curse
And what not?
All things dull and ugly.
