හීන

so there was this

dream I had last night

that I was lost in a labyrinth

 and was trying to find you

 amid a web of walls 

that disappeared

and

reappeared 

and because I couldn’t find you

I kept palm-prints on

smooth white surfaces

which recorded them in blood

so I would not search

again and again

for you behind

the same old walls

but the palm prints disappeared

seconds after

they appeared

quickly, like the ending of dreams

so there was no ending

to my search for you

and no beginning

to my finding you.
