Prathibha Nandakumar - This is what the fish said

-1- br How long can the hide and seek go on? br The net is cast everyday and soon br you will be `it'. br A fish's silence says a lot br The one under the oath of Hatha Yoga br called back to say br `Ruthless love breeds contempt' br br -2- br br This is temple river br These are temple fish br Casting nets is prohibited here br Some fish even wear golden rings br br They live on the puffed-rice of silence br They do not always decipher the meaning of dreams br Today they said move on to the big ocean br when the pond gets small br br -3- br br Eels travel miles to mate at mid sea br Some fish swim up current to br mate, lay eggs and die br Some spread the love scent for miles br with a small flutter of the tail br br The laying of eggs is an all together br different matter. br Just a small movement of the body and a br small opening of the secret passage br br and millions of tiny wonders slide down br guaranteeing there will be life after all br do not despair.
