Change the vowel to make a new word!!



Change the vowel to make a new word
Says the kg teacher to my little boy…

Vowels change
And
So do words

Hat and hut
Cut and cat


Why alone vowels ?
Let it all topple over

Why a change between borders?
Let him make a new word order.

Tah and tac
Utc and uht

Long live the vocabulary…!!

Why limit them down to a cross word puzzle?
Two blocks right and four blocks down
Letters packed and couriered
Laid down bare and called a word

Lets go up and left
Mix them, smash them
Heat them
Shape them
Re shape, re re shape
Jumble it over and over
Over over and over
And make new worl/ds

Vpa  mmuummm agaim a mmmmuuu
And back to vpa..!!

A single bloom, yellow in a pale grey canvas Thick skies Heavy like void, of your pangs. Burial ground. Silver moon. Withdrawing lives. Slumbers of yesterdays. Glow worms. Wind. Strokes I fail to play.

The images that come to you on a Sunday morning

Jesus, crucified in an altar facing the sea Desires, Prayer beads Rain down your skin as you walk, into the endless gaze of a body sprouting blood You turn away, from the wickfires, glorifying a sacrifice, and face the monsoon waves Love, leaves the shore again and again Droplets from the altar flow past your breath filling the waters The sea and the sky, Pale blues, spilling over each other You smile, as you notice, a million crossing overs wetness over the sandbanks yellow lights over eyes, closed sky over your purpose, and My longings, over your abundance
