Noted Nest

Full Moon Plunge

By Susmita Chatterjee Alias Aloakash



The moon tree menstruates


On the full moon night


Foliating herself in sprouts


Her aura rejuvenated in the median


Awakened that she is after eons


She no more questions


Why menstruation is considered a taboo


Chandburi, the aged woman of the moon, as she is called


By her kith and kin


Now knows herself to be a marmite


She spreads her feather roots deep inside


The morass marking time in her cycle


Without meddling with the madness


that cultural meanings surround her with


Chandburi, my lover, morphs inside me


As I feel the moraine piled up in my lower abdomen


I bid adieu to those muddle headed thinkers


A pain, sharp and shooting, leaves me


In a monad that I and chandburi am


The Mobius strip girdling my waist


Drops of blood adoring my full moon night


I plunge


The modalities of five senses leading to the sixth


The sense of wholesome joy that cannot be misspelt anymore


Charm of the full orb melting the sap of alchemical goal


Moulds leaves of knowledge eyes
