Five Falls, Kuttralam Poem by Sridala Swami

Five Falls, Kuttralam



For Veena Muthuraman

A face not so much
an image as an after-image
the dark patch where
the sun had been before
you looked away.

No, a long hum

Never sure afterwards
if you stood there
if you survived
if what emerged
out of the water was spectral
or what went into it.
