A striking vision of Spring personified, Soumik’s poem paints a vibrant, rainbow-hued body for Different Truths.
Her left hand is tinged with violet
The right indigo
The bare waist, the vast ocean blue
Thighs, the lustrous green
The bowl of her knees, all yellowish
The feet are smeared with oranges
And the toes like a newlywed bride
Blushed red
She is Spring personified
All through her body plays
The rainbow
Yet she is white
In heart
That fuses all the hues
