some feeble tunes the ears catch br hushed dialogues overheard br in the shadows a lighted patch br windborne caught one word br br you they haunt daylong chase br nibble your thoughts and tease br not revealed from greyish haze br yet keep your mind in leash! br br what are they you wonder aloud br shadows in wispy outline br all those naggers hidden in shroud br you feel but can't define br br day and night they gnaw inside br a lump of mass sans sense br drag you low climb you tide br fly you unseen distance! br br with them within life you roam br spelled in all you do br why your mind they make their home br you haven't the slightest clue br br only a few you can hold in hands br purge with the flows of ink br most them die stillborn strands br find a depth to quietly sink!br br Pradip Chattopadhyaybr br
