“The reason is…”

The reason is nothing
but what is assumed or
fabricated, depending upon
which side of the fence one is.

“the reason is …”
“f**k the reason.”

Alienation

At the tavern they sat
Swigging cheap liquor
With a sense of urgency;
A group of labourers,
Like poor relations
At a rich cousin’s place.

The elegance
Of Damayanthi
Portrayed
By the maestro
Kottakkal Sivaraman
Has paved way for
The hell-hath-no-fury-
Like- a- woman-scorned
Rage of Ms. Jyoti Devi,
The ‘lady of the house’.

I'm loving it

All it takes for
An all-engulfing
Devastating flood
Is a single
Drop of rain,
Of memories.

Post No. 101

(It’s a revised version of the last post, thanks to the invaluable suggestions of erudite readers)

On bright,
Sunny mornings
They plod
Like herd of cattle
Dragged to the
Slaughterhouse,
And gush back
On pale evenings
Like excited calves
Let loose on the valley;
The school children.
