India;

It’s true.

 

I draw you with my toeless feet.

My fingers fell out as I passed your skin.

Drops of blood became your body.

Parliament ; Taj Mahal; Charminar; Rashtrapati Bhavan

Everything in your pride is my bloodstain.

I cannot explain it without fingers.

But a poem can do.

 

 

Dispassionately I closed my eyes.

The divided heart floated in the river.

Slowly I opened my eyes;

sun in the distance

-With red glitter-

The red that fell on me fell on you too.

I’m buckling to blossoms now.
