Anitha Thampi
Writing
Bathing,the water stopped
all of a sudden
Whistling,
the water in the rusted pipe
came to a stop
Dripping,
the body shivered,
naked
Stretching
through the window
its fingers,
a shivering wind
For a moment
I felt like
being cold.
And off flew
the garment
of wetness.
Draped
in a wild summer,
I forgot
modesty.
The strands of hair
drip like a tree
in the rain.
From memory
they write
on the body
just a line
or
two
with water.
