MEMORY FLOOD
By
CHANDINI SANTOSH
I have torn away
Your memories
Llike an old muslin cloth
And carried them to the sea last evening
To be thrown into the sea
Where endless sand
And slanting palms
Get wet in the rains.
Between a hysteric sea
And a hypnotic devil
The muslin shreds
Have stuck to my mouth
And peripatetic soul.
...........
This poem is from my latest anthology, I ME MYSELF.

Awesome Cover photo. Hats off the photographer who clicked the footprints on a sea washed sand...pls let us know the person who took the picture. Good job Chand ......awaiting to see the book and read it too.
Dear Choco
The cover has been designed by Monica Varma, the Short Story Editor at Unisun Publications.
Yeah, it is very evocative. My poems also fall into the same category. Thankfully.
You can order the book from Unisun, which is what I did. I get a thirty five percent author's discount as well. It is a hard cover copy. I love hard covers. When I was a child I used to hold the cover of a book to my nose to smell the smell of books. But somehow I feel nothing different about my books. Should I not be feeling elated? But all that is not for me. I am too rational for all that sentimentality.
I am happy and I look forward to my novel. Perhaps that would be different. What say you?
