Accident

-

 



Bike running,

Mind running,

Hand running,

Heart running,

Breathing running.


Then I met with an accident.


Bike broke,

Mind broke,

Hand broke,

Heart broke,

Breathing stopped.


“How did you survive, and why?”

my friend asked me.


Bike repaired,

Mind repaired,

Hand repaired,

Heart repaired,

Breathing running again.


I laughed.

“It’s a maze, be careful.”


Because again,


Bike running,

Mind running,

Hand running,

Heart running,

Breathing running.


I met with an accident.


Same road.

Same speed.

Same silence before impact.


I hope this time

it’s the last.

Leave

-
I wrote an email to my manager and came to the office for a meeting. She asked what happened. I said: I want leave from stress, from worries, from the noise that follows me. I want leave from my job, from the version of me it keeps. I want leave to repair my bike, to repair my mind. I want leave to meet a doctor, and leave to run from the hospital. I want leave to fly in the sky, to disappear underground. I want leave to be happy, to be kind without trying. I want leave from the rat race, leave to read, to write, to meet a friend who still knows me. I want leave to cry, to laugh without reason. I want leave from life, from death just for a while. Yes, I want a leave. Will you approve it? She said:  you need to take it And no one knows how to give it. I laughed because she didn't understand the reason.. So I just asked: And will you take leave for yourself? I am writing for both of us before life becomes unpredictable. I want leave to be fine. - Vishwanath

Eight Minutes

-
इमेज
I hope you have eight minutes for me. I typed the message, but never pressed send. Scrolling through my phone, reading thoughts that shook me faster than I expected. Yesterday, things were okay. I was a free bird. Today I sit at home in a wheelchair, feeling like everything is done. It feels heavy to wake up. Hard to speak, so I choose silence instead. Breathing feels difficult. Walking feels like I may fall. Slowly, quietly, I realized I wasn’t well and I needed help. Time kept running. I got stuck somewhere and ended up hurt. So I typed again, asking for help, asking for eight minutes. No one responded. Finally I wrote: “I need blood. I’m diagnosed with worries and too many thoughts.” I hope you will respond. I hope you will reach out. I hope you will rescue me. I hope you are there for my last eight minutes. - Vishwanath
