New Year Double Issue: Poem

Anywhere is Another Place

Poems by Pritish Nandy

I am my own assassin.

My finger is always on the trigger
as I stare into the glass.
I hate my own mediocrity,

this cowardice,
this flawed life
that stalks me day and night.

An orphan in my own universe
I wait for you to catch up with me.
