Rocking Chair


Illustration: Bharati Varrier



Whiffs of air

whisper sweet nothings,

Life gently rocks in its chair,

A soft heave backward

reclining

to browse the distant skies,

A smooth lunge forward

dreaming

into the infinite horizon,

A sharp upturn

unawares

And the world is askew,

flipped right upside down.
