Poetry 2009 Longlist, Neelima P

ULTRASOUND

White walls
And diamond tiles
Over my head
As they gelled my womb
And looked for a life.

The red report
Had my favorite
Secret .I grabbed
It to see if there was
A form, a shape,

A beginning, an end,
A breath, a beat,
They didn’t explain
The spine and the head
But I saw

My heart beat there.
