Nowhere To Hide Poem by umashankar manthravadi

Nowhere To Hide



nowhere to hide
except for an instant
under the wave

rock now sand
golden in the green underbelly
of the wave

and she says
mocking an instant
I'm your rock

fresh faced unworn
and there is calm in my mouth
for an instant

hair curls navelwards
hand breaks against the rock
in timeless eddies

no place to stand
in the sand's struggle
for the land under the sea

- May 19,1979
