The Bodily & A note / A rant

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.
