.in a land of waters


There is no my school these days,
yet I don't feel happy at all.

She gulped my mother and brother,
farm and home.
I gulped a lump of her,
she was within me too.
But I hated her then
and let her roll down my eyes.
.

Shattered shingles,
shards of my kaleideoscope,
were all that remained.

Dare didn't I,
to bet her on her strength.
you made me fly,
though not in the sky,
In logs and woods,
cadaverous streams.
.

Food for us was then.
falling from the sky.
Only to see more kids like me,
under feet of many,crying
and screaming for their lives,
in a land of hers,
in a land of waters..
