A Little Talk

By Treesa Mariyam Varghese

I need it ,wished the heart

You can’t said the brain

Let me try, she  said to him

You  can’t said the brain again

Why not? Asked the heart

What if?  you  fail,

they scold and everyone laughs?

She tried, She failed.

Heart cried ,Brain felt.

Am I feckless?asked the heart,

No risk to you,that’s all I wish said the brain.

All we wish is on the other side,

Swim through it is the only way,

What if we drown? asked the brain

You can see the world down there.

Trust the man who gave you hands,

and we will swim through it.
