birth death

Birth Death by Jadurani devi dasi

birth death

cramped breathing container
compassionate inflection
confirms passage
through desolate expanse

parboiled perspiration
apprenticeship procured
procreative perilous passage
power conversion

short-sleeved arm
originates from labor fields
rubbed in a greasy palm
seasonal occupations

a merger
matured greatly over years
far-flung fluctuating flowing fiction
forewarned, forearmed

tenured
temporary people
severance benefits
retired and resigned

information upgrade
sense of security
terminal state of stability
remains in-memoriam
