Flowing water and the broken anklet

The Shower pouring over my head felt like passage of time ...

That continues to flow-

Touching...

Washing me off...

And taking it all along, leaving 'me' behind...


The beads of my anklet, 

scattered on the wet floor,

Laid still!


I knelt down in disbelief..

Under the same pouring water over my head...

(.... remember? I said - 'the passage of time')

Picked one bead at a time, 

Looked closely at the string of that anklet... if anything was impaired?

but no;

Something within me had!, for sure.


It all resembled me

The aches of broken and shattered heart.

When I picked them up ...not knowing what else could I do...

No tears, no loud cry...

Only me, my thoughts underneath the flowing water...
