Healing

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The camera on my computer plays games
I see myself bald in a cancer ward
sitting on my chair dressed for work
I ask my colleagues what they see
They reply with a forlorn face
Maybe you should skip work and rest…

A nurse appears who looks like me
With a luminous bandage for my soul
The device takes me to a different land
Amongst the din, I feel myself whole
The winds that will be howling at all hours
pushing me to meet myself and heal

I see carcinogens drop in the ocean
The wallpaper shows a rising sun

    ‘The winds that will be howling at all hours
    pushing me to meet myself and heal

    I see carcinogens drop in the ocean
    The wallpaper shows a rising sun’
    These lines savedme from being melancholy.
