Ripples distort my face

Is it the rain

that trickles down my cheek?

Are the clouds 

Dark in the sky too?

Accumulated rain

create an amoebic puddle

And the ripples

Pulsate like a heartbeat

It’s alive 

It reflects 

Sometimes the real 

Sometimes the distorted

It’s just the ripple

Like a gruesome thought

That changes 

My face in the puddle

I think I will wait

Till the ripples die down

For then I will see

The placid sky

And the seven faced rainbow 

A wet street of Cochin
