I stepped in what used to be the child room of mine
I was weighted down by a clenched chest
Sucking my air out
Was it me or it?
I did not understand
I could not ask a word
But father knew
From under the table
He handed me a dog-like cushion
I almost fell down
So much matter to bear
Sometimes you must accept heavy as a gift
First, I run to the balcony
I tried to throw it into the darkness
(It took place at night)
But, for God!
The dreadful dog-like cushion was jinxed
It returned like a boomerang
(Every single time)
Second, I ripped it to the pieces
But, for Hell!
It kept gravitating towards each other
Third, I ripped it to the smallest pieces
Maybe, it would lose its being
But, for Me!
What if some tiny puff got stuck in my guts
And it keeps radiating since then
Like a dangerous alpha ray
O, big, big Owl
Half the size of me
I keep fighting you
Every night
In my bed
Like the monster you are
I keep pushing your hands
Away from my throat
(Barely managed)
O, big, big Owl
I’m locking you in my bathroom
But isn’t it too cruel?
To leave you there without any light?
I’m turning it on, just in case
So you know
I care
O big, big Owl
When did you transformed into a penguin?
In my bed
We are cuddling now
Have we become close?
Then why are they taking you away?
