Simply Intricate

shades of green on the bricks, broken steps

dried rivers and tracks in sand

symmetrical bridges and rail tracks

irregular land divisions 

Trees dried and standing alone

electric wires running parallel 

so intricate like veins and arteries 

These bricks built my memories 

cannot trace back with broken steps

I can't swim or trace the track 

Symmetry confuses me 

irregularity interests me 

you are that one standing so far

Can't reach you with veins or wires!

As I travel in time and rejoice the moment

You had everything but not clarity! 

these rocks and blocks remind the same

I travel to our land of demons and dark lords!

Because angles are overrated and 

so are light and right.... 

-Aparna Bhumi 

Whether we appreciate it or not, we live out our lives surrounded by an intricate pattern of social connections... We're all embedded in this network; it affects us profoundly and we may be unaware of its existence, of its effect on us. - Nicholas. A. Christakis
