Hauled Her

By Nayana N

You live here

In between the mind’s crevices

The gyri and grooves

Never let yourself be removed

Just like the tree could hear the saw

Cut through its earlywood

Did my heart slowly thaw

Into a pain of bleeding good

To the clouds that poured down

And flooded the natural lace

Did it moisten the brown horizon

Down through a depressed face

The waves that hit the rock

Did it make them falter?

Let me not unlock

As a calling grieve hauled her
