KA

If anyone asks why the crows Ka

I'll not refer to the Rigvedic Ka

This Ka is kya, kyun, kaise I came

The crow is seeking  my answers.

If my face is swollen, eyes unfocused

if my mind wanders all over the world

lost, uncertain rolling rising brooding

the answer is what, why and how!

If I am  asked why do I miss you

my answer is why does life and death

chase each other  like night and day

why misses what and what misses how.

The Ka is never missed

the substance is lost everywhere.

You are in your world living loving

playing laughing without ever missing

the need of the night or death-

I have no world to miss anything

I have nothing to miss except the Ka

my Alter ego in life, death and night.
