Heaviest Thing in the Universe
A poem

I carried the heaviest thing
on this planet;
It slithers on my chest
and my whole body for a moment
then lies on the roots of my
heart.
I start a conversation with that.
we talk about the last breathe
of a tree
and blood shredded story
of a young man.
Now the weight of the thing
gets reduced.
when you realize the name of
the thing is ‘tears’
My physique transforms from a wild animal
into a
winged flower.
