I. THE SUSPECT Anmole Prasad
I wonder if he knows I'm shadowing him, close as he goes Intermittently undulating across the dead glass windows Of shops that wait agape, in rows to consume every now and then a hungry customer On Main Road. Lit up in stark detail now By the citric winter sun (and how cruelly reduced to a mere shadow Across the old Central Bank wall) He's reflected over Ferrazzini's stale pastries made-up in red, green and yellow, Tarts after a long night: staring bleary-eyed At the morning On Main Road. A b/w man against a Kodachrome sky B/w hair, black tie Raven robe slung high Over a terrywool shoulder, an arm swinging a bag of mummified tomes through the colourfilm throng of passers-by Both of us caught in this cloak-and-dagger affair On Main Road. Is it possible that he can smell the surveillance or tell That all is not well That his cover's blown, the case is closed, I have all the evidence I need to arrest him? Could he foretell his being charged with murdering me On Main Road? II. DIWALI Arathi Rao Glass bangles shatter while the gold consumes her wrists-- Diwali today. ------------------------ Yahoo!
