Sandcastles

Anupom Kumar Hazarika

Let us go to the Mahabalipuram beach,
thy favourite place where I dreamt alone.
Those bygone days when I was crazy
about you and the fireflies fell for the lambent moon.
I drifted towards an unfamiliar space like a threadless
kite, I did not know that it was a black hole
waving at me to gulp me down, I would skip
the welding class as it was about how to join
two pieces of metal,
not about how to fix a broken heart.

For, I found freedom on that beach, saw happiness
on lovers’ faces, crazy lovers who defied
societal norms and kissed passionately.
One day, when you said you had a fantasy of
kissing your lover on the beach, I built a sandcastle.
It ain’t there; you may find another one which is
unlike the metallic, claustrophobic operation theatre
where your gallbladder was removed.
A sandcastle is not as heavy as metal
and can easily be washed away.

 

Mahabalipuram beach- a beach located in Tami Nadu, India.
