You, the secret code
of a ship wreckage
inscribed with my name.
On a chariot of wind
Wearing a T-shirt saying
‘Sorry, I have vexed you’,
I’m sending you
a floweret form the sea,
Whose petals in-sync
with the waves in the seas.
When the chariot returns
Please do send back with it,
An acceptance footnote
for my apologies to you.
Like a bulb illuminating
on the speech bubble
of a cartoon character
I will find the map
en route to the land form it.

Original poem published in Malayalam(Samakalika Malayalam Weekly), translated by poet.
