construing they might
tie a rope around her throat
to hang to death atop the flag post
she might have smothered?
slithered from the hands of national leaders..
fluttered unfettered… my colourful flag
Joyfully, freely, fully in sky!
(From ‘Prabhava’, collection of poems edited by Sri T. Sri Ranga Swamy and published by Sri Lekha Sahithi, Warangal.) [1987]
