‘WHISTLE-BLOWING’ LAND AND SEA

Sitting in the balcony
in the night
enjoying the ‘whistle
blowing’ faraway sea
her motherly caressing
and whispers of
secrets hidden in its
basement
also
the unknown waves of secrets
of the city
under the golden
sodium-vapour lamps,
men and women crisis-crossing
the serpentine roads
as also
vehicles hooting and tooting
the ones roaming around
the city
must be media men
with hidden cameras
to capture
hidden dealings
behind the curtains
not knowing the suspected
culprits are
being followed
just imagine, the moment
these wheeler-dealers
appearing on the TV
screens at the earliest
reflections flashing across
as if in a mirror
their hearts pounding
the frenzy of denials
with the invented statement
‘all doctored’
‘all doctored’
‘all doctored’
denials after denials
amusing drama really.
