To Numbness by Soheb Niazi

In most
Minimalist
Of music

In most
Mystical
Of musicians

In every
Irritation
Of the eye

In easy
Excesses
Of the exile

Soheb Niazi is a twenty three year old living in New Delhi.The poem is from a collection called “Blowups-Odes to the Muses Of A Madman”. “Blowups” is an enlarged unrestrained expression of emotion. These odes explore the idea of considering the unrestrained emotions of the madman as reflective of a part of pure, base human nature itself.
