Archan Nair – New Illustration titled “ Hue “
I feel lost and confused.
I feel dizzy and unsure.
My mind is pulled
in opposite directions.
What do I want?
I want to create.
Throw paint on a wall.
Write books.
Compose poetry.
I want to create.
Who am I?
Who is this creature staring back at me?
Do I look like this on the inside?
Do I appear like this to others?
Why is the mirror cracked?
Young black-tailed prairie dog
“I saw it!
I really did.
I thought I saw a pussy cat.
Where is it? Where did it go?”
Or did he just lose something?
A beautiful fox.
What is he looking at?
What is he thinking?
What has him so confused?
I always wonder what animals
are feeling and thinking.
I wonder if they’re trying to
understand us at the same time.
