Ocean of Forgotten Names

Rha Hira Arayal

diary pages 

folded like boats.

​

empty lungs;

the corpses float.

​

water seeps through

a waterproof coat.

​

in a glass bottle,

a single note.

​

"i can't breathe"

​

they never could.

​

the death was slow

air like poison

​

why were they chosen

to die by corrosion-

​

the deterioration of 

our equality notions?

​

why was it them

that died out in the open?

alone and deserted,

scarred and broken?

​

why did God give

them life if

the world is frozen?
