I made it up to the land's end,

but now begins the sea.

You have brought a rowing boat from the far end

but how do I trust you and the sea?

This cumbersome dress, this hat that is waiting to fly with the wind

and the hardest thing, how do I step into the boat?

I can neither swim nor float.

This. is no picnic my dear is no picnic my dear

I was better off in my study.

 Far from the boat I row

I see the tide ebbing.

Agitated, the sea is quiet.

I am already there

on the horizon. Dots of white sails

furled with wind

and the waves have stopped breaking on the rocks..

I will reach there, and by then

I will have the grains of sand

and the taste of salt

sticking on me

bruising, healing

all at once.

2- January-2024.

 Pieces of dice, and playing cards

found casually lying on an old-fashioned chair

and a wall-hanging portraying the face of a child,

close to the chair a tripod with a camera,

the corner of the room, dusky dark,

though the day out there is not yet dark.

The scenario of an artist's den,

a statement upon the contents of art.

After aeons the door opens and a raven cries

with a piercing note to draw attention to

the obvious side of a forgotten art

that used the intuition with an uncanny precision

of the dice in the hands of a gambler, and the player of cards,

and the third eye of the cameraman hiding long behind a dark screen and a dark room

until the picture emerged.
