Kalpurush

// An ode to addiction and drug abuse

I was busy eating jade when ruby arrived Ruby stole my heart, then Sapphire and then Quartz Jade remained forgotten, untouched, Until I was out of Ruby, Sapphire and Quartz Jade served me in the limestone valley Where I got lost, drunk in the yellow essence of joy and laughter A haze that remains after The damage has already been done

Then came the water Raging, soaring water And I struggled to breathe, struggled to stay afloat I struggled with my limbs flailing in every direction I wasn't used to But the water saved me The water kept me alive

Someday, the water will drain out if it wants But the jade will remain The jade will sink And I'll devour it at the bottom of the sea And I'll devour it at the bottom of the sea
