What is distance? The space between any two points,
on a paper… between two minds.
Therefore a letter;
A line
The alphabet
The sound
and from then on,
Bridges of thought
Ideas.
A journey travelled
A world traversed
A by-lane with a hanging lantern
Colour, light!
The smoke from a tea stall
A waft of aroma
a slight nudge-
the cow grazed past
with a single tinkle
A stream of water,
picking up plastic bags, cigarette butts, dried leaves, grains of rice,
It flows down to the main street.
Where have I come?
Where is the distance?
