Skeletons In The Closet.. Check

By Suryalaxmi R. 

It is time I open my old closet again

It is time I check whether the skeletons are still there 

They may have walked away their own path

Since it’s been long time I haven’t checked

But all the time I have been thinking of them

Protecting them and hoping they are safe

Pretending that I have changed

And that I am okay

As if there was never the existence of those skeletons

But the more I tried to deny

The more troubled I was

Finally I am going to check again

My old closet which I had locked up before I turned on a new leaf

I opened the closet and groped in the darkness of secrecy

My hands pulled out … a dress !

A frock from my childhood or old self 

The past … Where are the skeletons ?

Did they walk away? 

I groped again and again in the deep

There they were … and where would they go..?

Not that we wanted to start the year with travelling but somehow the holidaying mood of year end lingered on us. We had reached home in Alleppey that morning itself. I could have easily avoided this trip but much whimsically, said YES to it. As happens in case of trips that are neither planned well nor taken too seriously, we started late in the morning from our home in Alleppey with a rough itinerary in mind. My husband, Sree, was the driver on board as our newly bought car was on it’s maiden drive to hills. We picked Jijomon, Sree’s buddy, from near his house in Thakazhi which, in itself, is a picturesque landscape with water and fields. I and Manu were the occupants in the backseats while Jijo gave our “driver” company in the front. Since introduci...
