Wishful Thinking Poem by Prathibha Nandakumar

Wishful Thinking

Rating: 5.0


Oh to fall in and out of love
everyday

to be bare and unmasked
everyday

to celebrate
some woman somewhere
achieving great heights

I love the neighbour woman
who ran away with the milkman
leaving behind the rogue husband

The day my daughter
answered back her father
I prepared a special feast


Translated from Kannada by the poet
