»The Evil Twin«

by Ashok Kumar Madhunlall

New eyes flicker open
Good Morning
Yesterday's eyes forgotten
Prayers said just mechanically
He steps out of himself like a shadowy soul
Duplicity
His eyes dart about wickedly
Slits narrow menacingly knowingly cold
Today he shall not be meek but bold
The halo spins and twirls to remind him
He ignores – the carnal in control
He peeps behind him
Surreptitiously he acts out his desires
Leers behind him again
Gives a lascivious look
Sighs
Steps back into himself again
Good Day
