Lights in the Dark
Amruta Ashok Dhuke
I sat on the aged, wooden chair
An orange-yellowish color
spread all over the mighty sky
I played my favorite music
in my cheap earphones
watching the city lights
sparkle and glow in the dark
while a group of proud girls
passed by
expensive clothes, beautiful watches
Glowing
their heads held high
eyes right at me
Looks exchanged.
now even the music doesn’t seem pleasant
considering myself the Darkness
alone I sit on the aged, wooden chair
invisible flashbacks hitting me harder.
