Raincheck Renewed - Poetry by Poetry by Kavita Jindal

Morphing

forefinger poised on forehead she
touches her mind through the third eye
she has begun to be all that she would like:

a diminutive fairy nestled in the hair of her lover’s armpit
finished with braving big currents in a small world
burrowing in a safe spot

transforming then into the smile of a giantess
who has held in her palm all the passions together
that keep the heart’s fires alight

it is not often she gets the chance to switch
between extremes
she would like to be the fairy again but knows
that an adventurous soul
cannot remain forever in an armpit

she has begun to return
to an ordinary size.
