Isai
I am Isai, a queer independent scholar and English language expert from Kochi, based in Hyderabad, India. I am a Cultural Studies graduate, editor, and poet with three years of experience in education and soft skills training.
I am passionate about poetry and deeply engaged with themes of media, migration, labour, digital aesthetics, and social semiotics, and I am committed to fostering critical thinking, communication, and personal growth through interdisciplinary learning.
The bodily
I sleep in chunks,
Driven by odd visions,
Parts of me always a little off balance.
A womb analysis—
Dysphoria washes over me.
What do I house within? The question.
Am I not the entity I painstakingly curated?
The bodily always brings me back.
Medicated—I wait on the anomaly.
A note / A rant
I scrape by without socks.
My mind deprives me of water, tablets, nutrients, and light.
Notes are made, pointers taken; hopeful improvements on the horizon last until the next breakthrough.
New lists on my walls hang on for their lives,
Working against my own self-preservation instincts,
my mind screws me over and over and over again.
