In the Belly of a Slovenly Crow

10/09/20 – 25/10/20

Booking Required

In the Belly of a Slovenly Crow

This is the belly

where I create a sanctuary.

This is the belly

where I come from,

I dwell,

I yearn for

and I reject.

It is also the belly of sticky desires,

where,

to save myself from becoming a digested pulp,

my only option is

inducing a certain kind of nausea

that hits an instinct in my carrier and makes him run.

Then, with the sound of repulse,

I am nothing but regurgitated cud

This is the belly of a slovenly crow,

who croaks lies through the night—

echoes of the same belly find a way out

through the fruit,

the vertebrae,

the flesh

and the undigested toffee wrappers

(all glitter, no gold).

But, apparently, in the clutter

of this impermeable belly,

I am to find the words

of an ancestral wisdom—

compressed light years

of births and rebirths.

-Shailee Mehta
