with shoes on feet


a grab-and-run pack
a small survival sack
with one set of clothes for spouse and self
passports, a file with just few mails
an old diary with addresses to contact
in england, finland, and switzerland

and some currency notes
couple of thousands
in rupees that does not stretch
like the american dollars
they were what i needed most

as the pogrom was in progress
in my tamil homeland
while i always went to bed
with shoes on my feet
