Alone
“I am left alone. My family members fled during the heavy fighting. I am too old to be accompanied by them. I was found to be alone, when I woke up in the morning. I am trying to survive here” says” Somasundaram Arumugam (76) from Kathiraveli.
The thud on the floor echoed;
The Lizard fell from the ceiling,
The heart missed a beat. - Haiku by Narayan 'Shyam' in Sindhi; Translated by Param Abichandani
