Framed Soul
You love your walls
when you showcase
your most beloved
father or mother
wife or brother
the wooden frame
with all its expensive filigree
and you care more for the showcasing
than the person
who
once was the object of your love
The dear departed soul
may not find a place in your mind
nor the care in your heart and
you take hold of everything
except the ideas
ideals
and the passionate love for life.
You have precariously sold them over
to the scrap dealer.

The picture you need to show
to your school going child
who may want to affix the facsimile of the same
in his notebook
to write a few lines about his granny.
He asks you.
Do you have anything to tell?
