We spend an insane amount of time being “wild” only in our thoughts. This piece explores what happens when we finally say “ok, fine” to the person holding the key, and trade our inner silence for something much louder.
told you
i can’t get locked into
tight places with you
in my mind’s cage
you’ve got me
captive
why only be wild
on the inside?
you ask
ok.
fine.
show me how you do it
and i’ll show you
how i come undone
let’s make loud noises
let the mirror catch
our animal side
let’s walk
the edge of savage
and the divine
we can’t
let each other sleep
not tonight
or any night
now…
open that door.
let the world
taste our wild.

ఎన్నో భయాల్లో ఇది ఒకటి – A Poem by Rachana
నాలోని భావాల లోతు వినిపించాలంటే,తెలుగు తప్ప నాకు మరో భాష తెలియదు.నిజంగా చెప్పాలంటే, తెలుగులోనే చెప్పాలంటే —ఈ పదాలు, ఈ వరుసలోనే రాయాలి. నీ కోసం శ్వాసల సముద్రం నింపుకుంటా,కానీ నీ తలపు తీరాన్ని తాకగానేనా ఊపిరి ఆవిరైపోతుంది —మిగిలేది నీ జ్ఞాపకాల తడి మాత్రమే. కోపం వస్తోంది...
