Bharati Kapadia

Rhythm Opens Its Eyes

Somewhere
a clock ticks
but no tock follows.
 
Elsewhere
a heart
for the first time beats
and stops.
 
Here
a teardrop 
in mid-air
freezes.
 
Aborted rhythm
soundless
retreats.
But
 
A clock ticks 
and stops
without a tock
next instant
a newborn heart
throbs and ceases
in turn
a teardrop
freezes 
in mid-air.
 
Now,
 
Rhythm
opens its eyes
and winks.
