The Insect Who Got Carried Away

I
THE WIND let him sail with her,
the insect with black wax-wings.
his motor roared a constant roar
but was blurred and dwarfed to a hiss
between the waves of cacophony,somewhere,
the hiss got stronger
as his unfettered wings chopped the air
with relentless will to blithely drop and hover
the wind was there and he was there
the symbiosis was just a skin stronger
envious green eyes shone at him
that lucky iron-monger!


II
THE WIND flew all through him now
but his blood flowed a foot higher
drawing a line of control,
right through his bloody chambers
discretion killed no spirit
discretion sowed the seed of awakening
the blood,the flood of spastic desire
eternal desire.


III
THE WIND carried him away,
up,5 flights of the erudition building
where his caviling body succumbed to the pleasure
blue or black under the brown mesmerizing sun,
some petards carry the right,spluttering brew
the insect got carried away.
the joss-stick had an orange glow to at its black edge
as the jougs anticipated a slender neck to a strong post.


IV
THE WIND retreated on reaching
the ebullient shine of its own source
the shine turned the wax-wings into ash
the wind came to an abrupt halt


THE FALL begins:-
down the vast,sprawling dark sky
the wind bloats the insect with heavy baggage

THE FALL continues:-
the insect drops like a boulder into a deep box of water
the wind drifts further away
the wind allows the insect no contact
pilots could call may-day
the insect could only fade away from her(the wind's) life

A silent thud,weeping and flailing lungs
a failing heart and an insect whose ego wasn't very smart

A neon bulb blinks,some cars squeal
an empty packet of smoky bliss
and a shiny gold bottle of malt kiss

THE FALL ENDS.
