Pradeep Dhavakumar - Departure

Waves leaving
the deltas of
your feet to lift
a dejected sea.

A dove leaving
the branches of
your palm to animate
a lifeless cloud.

A song leaving
the walls of
your lips to pacify
a funeral wind.

Tears leaving
the womb of
your eyes to wipe
dirt on another's cheek.

Life leaving
the castle of
your bod to lighten
a family tree.

O' how unique
this beauty is...
The beauty of
Departure!

Pradeep Dhavakumar
