L’esquive
Leaf fragments
Gathered grass tufts
New mown earth
And a slim rope, unseen, almost
Green and yellow frisson
Marks its fluid pace forward
Yet staples with a backward eye
The silent watchers, in thrall
Till at last, the bush line reached
Even a snake can exhale

Bio Note: Lina Krishnan is a poet, abstract artist and photographer in Bangalore. She has a chapbook of nature verse, Small Places, Open Spaces, with Melbourne poet Valli Poole. For her, Gandhiji’s relevance is about him being seeped in the very essence of this nation’s soil and air. He is like a family elder, stern and indulgent by turn, but a constant lodestar for one’s values.
