A GHZAL FOR THE LIVING JUPEE FISH Abstract nouns find meaning in concrete realities Like life that is the breath and death the absence of.
With concrete proof of counting corpse of gupee fish Until the fish were just missing minus corpse. And all night and day I solve the case of missing corpse With no concrete proof of floating gupee fish bodies. And one day in my study I see a long lizard tongue Come climbing over our bowl peeping into the water. Its tongue level with the water and sticky fluid Accepts the gupee fish and at one go the tablet is down. And I run to my kitchen and reduce a mug level of water To save my dear little gupee fish I had fished out In my mother's rasam strainer, one monsoon day. and every monsoon I make up a ghazal for my living fish.
