Digambara* Poem by Anitha Thampi

Digambara*



A lone bow-string
I stretch taut
above the endless earth,
.
Taking in his two hands
this sky's bow
strung tight,
raising it
like time
touching life
possessed by dreams,
with fear,
with intense love,
he holds the bow
targetting infinity
and shoots into the night
millions of stars.




*Digambara(n) is one who is clad in the sky, the naked one.
