Domestic Shades-18 Poem by Indira Renganathan
Domestic Shades-18
Snake
It came and went
And came and gazed
For hours
Unmoved I too gazed
And I too feared
And over the roof it vanished sinuously
Night
Twirls of hisses
Frightened and frightened
Choked throat searched for the water-jug
Alas!
Screeeeeamed!
Not me but hubby
Next day
Spectacled reptile
Bid us immortal fare-well
In sweet sorrow
Intestines writhe in guilty heart
This minute even long after
