Rituraj

The rasa that arrives after the others have spoken. Not emptiness but settlement, the water clear because it has stopped being stirred, wanting nothing further from the hour.

The rasa of grief kept in good order. Not wailing, the quieter labour after: setting the cup back on its shelf, folding what will not be worn again, learning the exact weight of a name.

7 compositions

The rasa of the refusal that will not soften. Fury here has grammar and aim, the wound that learned to speak, the injustice that declines to be reasonable about itself.

2 compositions

The rasa of the tilted glance. Comedy here is not decoration but diagnosis, the poet lets the world overhear itself, and the pretension collapses of its own weight.

2 compositions

The rasa of the step taken anyway. Courage in this key is unglamorous and precise: the vow spoken before the odds are counted, the standing that costs something and is done quietly.
