Allepy Canals

I wonder if

The water is on land

Or the land is on water

One can’t go without the other

I see paddy below the waterline

I see water above the dwellings

When I land on the bank

I ask myself, am I on

Island surrounded by water

Or mainland with a lake

A beauty that was able

To penetrate my solitude

I am lost in this web of

Alleppy canals
