ROOTLESS

Hidden from the eyes of others
I was made in secret
but can’t remember my birth 

from foetus in the womb
to severing of the cord
erased the memory 

now rootless in the valley
fading sensations of years
pierce the darkling wings of
world wide web that blob my being
twisted and tangled, brushed 

away like a fly, hatemongers
hashtag my creation
pirouetting platitudes
 
--R.K.Singh
