Throned on currency
Crowned Mahatma ever to smile
But the otherway
Children, grand-children his
Remark their love
Scribbling, naming, messaging
Their lovers
Signing, coding, drawing
Amounting to signal something also
Mahatma disappointedly pox-marked
sobbing, sighing invisibly
At the sill of watermark window

Indira Renganathan
