A FLOATING VEHICLE ON A SEA

In an azure garment
A blue sea splashed from her
In the floating vehicle
A fish I was
Wishing to get out into space
I broke the windows with my tail fin
In the profuse bleeding
my slippery body turned tired
while I quivered on the floor
she shrieks from the present
In the frothing of the blue garment
My faith glitters
Either drown
Or sob from the shore
Between these oscillated the mind
Elapsing Days
The floating vehicle, an optical illusion
Myself, as fish
the blue garment , as Sea

(Translation: Thara Ganesan)
