TWINNING
In vain did their prayers avail over me!
I have been from time immemorial,
When eyes were blur
And your ancestors hated me.
My arrival was an absurdity, of course
And my body cast away,
Coming and going, like waist beads,
These several seasons.
Always a pilgrim on this swampy land
Witnessed many seasons (I now know many faces)
As shreds and mutilated fragments
Of flesh in beasts' bellies.
I am of peculiar birth,
And yes, savour the sight of a twin!
Twinning weirdly though,
In odd demands and deified essence.
