IS IT THE SAME BOAT?
---------------------
When we dipped in the
Dark, muddy waters of the ghat
Where the canal met the river,
There were two companions,
Making a boat,
Under the shade
Of the coconut tree
On the shore,
Do you remember?
On the other shore,
Water cascades,
White and frothy,
The canal shutters,
Shadows the water dark,
We dipped and dried,
Under the coconut tree,
Watching the tree,
Shape up to a boat,
Later, sitting in the bus
Along the bridge, on the river,
We watched a boat,
Two souls rowing together,
The tranquility of the vast
Waters, merging the sea,
Spreads thick,all around.
The light breeze, caress the water,
Is this the same boat?
-Jaya Abraham
