Carnivore

The next time you come to this city, just remember it
is Mumbai , now it always will be. And if you
take that road again, remember to forget.This road
is not the same and if you come across unfamiliar shadows at night;

you will see them this time, don’t fear, they won’t mock

when you swing from
the left to the
                     right to the
left to the
                 right to the
left.

Ticking like a pendulum, for when the time comes

to leave, I know you will remember all that you

gobbled up and left behind not too long long ago.
