Can do Kundalika

I'm looking at the water not knowing what to make of it.
'Kuudh,' urges one of the spectators.
One look away from the water and doubt sets in.
'Nahi nahi,' I back off into the raft.
'Chal chal,' a hand pulls me back into the stoplight position.
'Saath kudtey hai,' I say relieving the pressure to do it myself.
'Saath kudtey hai,' is the fake reassuring response.
'Dhakka de,' shouts a pushy soul.
'No dhakka,' Gopal watches on.
'Khudh kudengi.'
The water is nearing in slow motion.
It shoots though my nose at jet speed.
My eyes stay shut from the intensity of the embrace.
Welcome home after 10 long years.
