circular notion of time...

'nemechi yeto mag pawsala'
and rain-time comes all over again

the girl wept
as she had bath
she wept
and the tears just
went down the drain

she learnt this
from a tale,
a tale of fish...
who got lost
from her fellow fish
the fish wept and
the sea became salty...
before it wasn't so,
they say

as she wept
the drains
were flooded
the rains came harder..

as the girl's mind
was overcast
it covered the sky
somewhere at midnight
the sky gave way
it showered
rain
tears
life
new birth
love
existence
change
possibility
potentiality

the girl kept on
poring water
over her head
her long wavy hair
held and left the water
her hair
thick long
rolled down the water
the tears were rolling too

long time it rolled
the bucket was empty
the mind was empty
eyes were drained
the anguish was flown out
the life was growing
a grass shoot
popped out of her mind

the floods settled down...
