WORDS ... SUJATA BHATT<br />
she did not know, her own language turned<br />
into a festival of fruits, and a festival of birds.<br />
When she lived on a mountain<br />
oxygen-deprived, near ice-covered rocks,<br />
she only dreamt of the sea<br />
night after night – algae and seaweed.<br />
Will oxygen determine the meaning of your words?<br />
Remember, she says,<br />
love will be silent with salt.<br />
Remember, she says,<br />
truth is mute, and love will be silent.<br />
