Living on edge
walking on line
of life and death
on the brink perpetual
on the cliff of survival
soaring descending –
alert of death impending.
Do not shout here. Even
echoes of silence
bring tremors
to the mountain and valleys.
On the brink
rationale ends
senses evaporate
showers begin
seedlings sprout.
Mumbai [17-7-1999]
