Theyyam in Kozhikode

the night wrote darks
from histories of caste, blood and unwanted differences
as if an Afrcan stood there with all the time of human


He awaits, to show a folk story, 

to show a God he believes, and the whole community 

believed his God
 



he believed, he performed a Goddess, living troubles need a last consultation from his her

Carrying a bamboo pole of nearly 40 feet tall with kgs of leaves, with fire, wood even more, 
he danced, he sure he is close to his God, 
he sure is God is what the spectator want to believe

In between some fights happen, some pets change hands, some vegetable plucked from the backyard change their address and use.
