By Sayali Parkar
1. The harsh night will
Repeat the bitter words
Of your father which
Burned your heart, but
Remember, nothing burns
Twice in this world, after
Turning into ashes. You
Repeat your favorite words
[ Beautiful, pure, maroon,
Embers]
2. It'll count your failures, but
You count all the blessings
Loudly. [ Plants, sunlight,
Night sky, love ]
3. It'll laugh at your scars, but
But remember they're fading
And you aren't.
4. It'll try to be comfortable,
Sprawling on your couch,
But you invite art, the harsh
Night will have to leave.
