Poem by Juhi Gupte
***
zipped
frivolous anxiety
carried, but put aside
for she was
here in the
mangroves along mandovi
haggling with the weather
nothingness
on the to-do list
hid her eyes;
ripples of
randomness
waist length
brown hair
flowing in the
stillness
that filled air
Trees that sway
in agility of. thoughts
accomplice were times;
spilled popcorns
Sinking
Soaking
Sunday,
bench turned its face
towards her own reflection….
