Poetry
Minu Varghese
Angst Chaos and confusion. Muffled groans deafening. Sighs and screams mingle. Fire and fumes subside. Foul smell and ashes remain. Soul captures the fire and immolates the self. The inflamed spirit crushes up the body; unbearable pain and angst, endurance becomes impossible. Pride melts, ego shatters, pains reveal their horrid countenances, helplessness team up with vulnerability, strength and determination give way to inertia and incapacitation. (This poem won honourable mention in the September-October 2012 Poetry Writing competition of SH College Writers’ Forum)
