Nexus

© Yamini

I opened the window, looked out,

for something more

than my eyes could see..

but a pretty painted wall

stood lifeless, as still

as it could be

a human trace, 

perhaps, a smile

or even a friendly stare..

A laughter here

a sob, or even

a few talks of care

But concrete jungle

stood all around

I felt a strange fear..

I wished for a human sight

instead some wires

dangled near

They weren't that bad

as I saw them talk

so blatantly to me

objects spoke

as living beings

they were all I could see

"Nexus", they hinted

the bond they had

it seemed so awfully strange..

we lack that bond

that empathy, that love

this is perhaps the"change"
