Slip of Fingers!


I live in my fingers
The fingers which deck my haughty eyes
The fingers which tickle my ears,
With the turning of the forbidden keys
I dart out to the forbidden space
To be ravished and chiseled by the rain
My anklets unquiet 
Drenched and dripped 
With the pattering piercing downfall
When the convulsions of the intoxication wither
I dexterously elude the repercussions
And brush off the silent judgments
With a foxy tag of "slip of fingers!"

I no longer drape the nudity of my ragged mind
I no longer pull the cloak over me
To curb the blizzard of brickbats 
No longer shrivels my charmed naivety,
By the envy of the bliss of a crawling infant
For I am cauterized by the burning embers
Embers of the forlorn past!
And as these words are born
I would like you to tag this 
 As slip of mind
Wedded with slip of fingers!

    Interesting thought. Even in a very literal context, now that I come to think of it, a lot of what we think and plan and do, involved the fingers. We contemplate in our mind, but the finger executes.
