Synesthesia.

Synesthesia

Meaning: A perceptual condition in which people may see sounds, taste words or feel a sensation on their skin when they smell certain scents.

Looking past
The green casement,
Gazing at the calm sky,
I could sense
the muezzin playing.

Crows taken aback,
Suddenly flew.

The sour creamy walls
Of the mosque,
Cried fire,
Screamed smoke,
Bled red.
For this I thought,
Could there be a first aid?

I had learnt to see sounds,
Synesthetes aiding
my partial deafness,
But that day,
I heard for the first time
When the blast
Deafened me even more.
Or was it my synesthesia?

I knew it was time
For a dozen coffins to be laid.
Perhaps it was the fault
Of the threads
on the wall of the Dargah
That got loosened.
