recovery

i am recovering. this falling sick business is becoming a pain, altering schedules, delaying rehearsals.

thankfully the drama is shaping up well. a little behind schedule perhaps, but then that element of nerves is crucial for a performance. well rehearsed if not well timed could well mean a stale delivery of lines.

apart from the drama upstage, another plot appears to be cooking. there is talk of employment, of employers, of us and them. it appears sinister.

Ajab sa shor hai har taraf bewajah kyoun kar?
bisaat ban si gayi hai yeh zindagi shayad
inhen guman hai kis baat ka, nahin maloom
khushi taras si gayi ho gi in idaaron mein!

rehearsing

for a very long time i had been waiting
in a way i still am
what began
has lost meaning
what's left
is a chore, routine

the future gives hope
the sun's seventh horse
the sun's last horse
the sun's youngest horse

rehearsal
rehearsals
uncomplaining, clear
