Amphibious

By Prerna Munshi

A loving hand,

she slipped out from.

At the sight of a sun sprinkled river. 

Her clothes melted like thin air.

Naked,

in bliss,

she morphed into the river. 

Her earth like the water weed

on the river bed

undulated with the rhythm of the river. 

What remained 

was an amphibian poetry. 

At times, seeking a land for words

At times, a sea of silence.
