Saffron

Pathikrit Mukherjee


A boy walked down a road.
A road full of filth and scum.
He had never walked this road before.
Neither did he ever run.

On his way, he found a cow;
With red signs on her body.
Her body was puffed and perfect.
Her eyes were fucked and foggy.

She suddenly started galloping.
In a strange and eerie way.
The boy started collecting lotuses.
He had nothing to say.

Sorry, I forgot to mention:
The road was filled with flowers;
most of them were pink lotuses,
yet the saffron ones had the power.

As the cow galloped and the boy gathered;
The pink lotuses started to die.
They died in 70-71 seconds.
The road began to sigh.

She suddenly stopped and stared
at the boy and his dead pink flowers.
She opened her mouth wide,
and invited him to come inside.

And now the cow sat with her mouth open,
with a beautiful dead boy inside.
She started to expand enormously;
And bled and choked and died.

From the dead cow and the dead boy,
Came a loud fucking feminine voice,
it felt like the voice had killed people,
without and guilt or coy.

"So let's start killing politicians
let's start in the month of october.
Let's start ending our government.
Let's start all over."
