Closed eyes mouth half open
to oxy mask.
He lay steady
The difficult take of breath
Ups and downs of chest ‘
reflecting the ups and down of his
life.
Oh! It is pacing down
Pacing down – the O 2 saturation
Heart rate too.
Father..
Your last words were

Shajil, are you here?
Yes ! father
I am here
Can you feel my massage on chest
Can you feel my palm on head
Can you hear me
Can you open your eyes- for a
moment please
Father…
Slow down not
For I can’t stand.. SHAJIL ANTHRU
Father …. SON OF K M ANTHRU
He who taught me to toddle
In this world

Making me lone
Embedding with the treasures of
secrets.
