Bungy Jumping

By Anupama Bhargava

Winds whip my flesh touching the pendulous sky.

I then dive piercing the wind to its very genitals.

It's no fun, and

I let out a scream from my parched mouth,

My memory becomes non-existent.

And then when convex reality of earth appears concave to the bulging eyes,

I am amazed as I realize that how a simple knot has held me safe all this time!
