Skeleton Why should she keep the door open! Sultry wind surreptitiously enters in the room with a couch full of slumber. Mid afternoon cloud has passed over the west side window. Its jarred view could have been seen a few minutes ago, through the broken pane. The wind stares. A male gaze it is. The beauty sleeps. The fairytales have prescribed deep deep sleep of the soul. She doesn’t stir. The atmosphere plays with her dark tresses. The lips, the tiredness… Somewhere a returning crow calls out. Shaken, she wakes up. Startlingly a sense of being molested whips inside. She can not fathom the source. Her boyfriend is no longer alive or the blame would have been upon him. Many a times it had been so. Before she rebelled. A fear rises in her. She runs to check the skeleton in her cupboard. The crow is crying… |

Oh, dear Ku, I am reading this in the hour of ghosts and I have the shivers. Intensely descriptive and profound in your very unique realistic style. Who doesn't have a skeleton in the wardrobe? brrrrrr Love, Margherita  |

I read this oh s-o-o-o slo-o-o-o-ow-ly, s-o-o-o v-e-r-r-r-y slo-o-o-o-ow-ly so that I could drink in ev-v-v-er-y word, image, thought expressed, thought not expressed - and when I got to the end, I didn't want to stop, so I read it again, verrrry, verrrry slowly. You are so young for such maturity, such understanding, such complex simplicity, such simple complexity and such excellence, Kushal. Thank you for sharing your masterpieces with us at Pip. - Owl |
