Moist Memories

I. Mohan Krishna

In every drop of my warm tears
Do I see my past crystal clear.

The rainy day
I was beaten up by my teacher
The stinking pillow
That soaked in my pain

The warmth of
My grandma’s lap
And the lullaby
That made me sleep

The nights
The unveiled melancholy
Ran down my temples
Unseen

The words
That cut my heart
Into pieces and
The people that hurled them

The hour
I cried against my
Mother’s breast and
The hand that consoled me.

Now, sitting on the terrace
And looking at the bright moon,
I recall them all

I doubt If I was ever happy, and
Lo! the dark clouds
Converge on the moon!

And ...
I’m in darkness again!
