Secret

Word-ka Shots decided to bring in a guest-writer this week. Our reader, Nikita D'Cruz, is quite the writer herself and turned out to be just the perfect sized lemon wedge to give the Shots a fresh new twist! Presenting this week's theme, Jason's chosen one: SECRET. 

 

	Conference call activated... Curious greetings... shushes Insight has traveled faster than sound Three expectant patient ears Listen to some throat clearing And then, the obvious is declared... Collective breath intake, Then loud laughter, hoots Out of place comments Guffaws, The embarrassed caller giggles ‘I’ll call you guys later. And yea...’ ‘Of course we won’t’. Four final smiles. Love exchanged. Of the strongest kind Beep. Call ended. -Nikita D'Cruz		Its warm, moist smell Attracts flies I try to wave them aside With the palm of my hand But they sniff That sticky-sweet on my fingers And know. Or do they? -Nikita Deshpande
