Talakaveri springs
from Brahmagiri hills
Kodagu mist blessing
Karnataka's cupped hands
delta farmers wait in
Thanjavur heat
Supreme Court verdicts
cannot fill empty wells
monsoon politics
flow through Mettur dam
Tamil voices rising
with Bangalore's thirst
Cauvery flows past
Srirangapatna temples through
Mysuru palaces
carrying prayers downstream
Trichy grandmother
watches paddy wither
while tech parks upstream
drink tomorrow's harvest
fishermen in Poompuhar
taste salt and sorrow
where river meets sea
ancient delta dreams
where does border end
basin begin
this endless
negotiation...
