In You - K Satchidanandan
When you were near me I thought love didn't need a body. Now that you are away I know love needs like voice, a sky like water, a stream like electricity, a taut wire for me to be a cloud a fish, a warm tremor, in you.Be my earth. Let me blossom in your valleys, their first blue flower. Let me run whistling across your tunnels, with light on my brow. Let me be a breeze in your woods, in your seas, a submarine. I would be corn in your fields, wander in your house like the odour of mustard bursting in oil.I long to be born in you, forever.
