by Sukanya Basu Malik
Whether I will get through or not
is now a question with faint doubtful answers
It is a question which has no certain answer,
Only guesses, uncertain guesses but what I know is that
sometime in the near future, if I become the past
what will remain forever is possibly my body of work, my kindness, my spirit beyond my body, my
soul and all things intangible and of course my art;
so in the preservation of the same,
I pen down my emotions I keep them for you For others & for centuries to come.
And in my writings, I write prayers tangled with a web of “Spells for aeons to come,”
In hopes of a future free of this pandemic, In hopes of a mask free planet!
