Basking under discontentment

Jessica teaches cooling


Jessica and the Pilgrim
Were there
Basking under
the shade of a grove.

‘In the beginning,
who required all this ?
Pleasure and the displeasure
In the nights of rummaging
Fingers and movements.
Flurrying with
All formations

Was not the toil sufficient
for a day to find our worth
Tilling the soil with worms
Sheltering in their homes;

Was it God?
Who made our images
Of which we are discontented
Now,
and then
and often
and ever,
and now trying
to clone
Aping the creation.?

The poor sea
Bellows with volcanoes
And earth quakes.
In the labour of
creating islands;
Designing new habitats
For our displeasures.’

He paused.

‘Pilgrim!’

She stopped him.

‘You need.’

‘What?’

‘Water of a
tender coconut.’

‘Why?’

‘It teaches.’

He watched.


‘Cooling and
Saving your
Cool’

She went
And brought.

After drinking
He realized .

‘ I agree
Nothing is
Created for
Total denial or
Total acceptance.’

She shared the
Half left water.
