! ! ! The Fish Travels Home Poem by Raveendran N.V.

Upon the emotionally charged stream

Empathy lethargic sentiments
A swim across the deep unconscious

The splinter’s tranquil existence
*
To smell the smell of smell

The strings of the fish’man
Around the neck of wavy shadows

Trampled by hooves of time
*
The draught cuts the planted sorrow

Of expanding time and space
Homecoming of mood churned desires

Welcome and unwelcome
*
Splitting the waves the fish travels home
Miraculously to breed and be dead
By what reality of a secret ridden nectar,
Or manna dew or cortisol? .
