The sea was once our prehistoric home. O how we adapted to its dark currents, to its India-ink infinities, chasing seaweed, driftwood and coral, before belly-flopping onto dry ground.
Now, the sea threatens our ancestral home, the sea that falls from the angry skies with their charcoal-smudged infinities. A swelling flood, chasing red alert, destroying houses and lives; raining grief.
Once sea-bound creatures now drown at home, ill-adapted to meet the flood's malevolent intent: to purge the Earth of all who cannot resist the rushing, rising mountains of waters, before proclaiming its final conquest of India's ancient lands.
Now, only prayer will be our home, built on deepest despair. Now, only God's omnipotent infinities circle the mud-brown rapids of sludge choking all who helplessly cross their path. Only God can make Kerala and Tamil live again, as one, on dry, holy ground.
