Anushka,
I hammer the air
with your name 


The afternoon
slides down your hair
ever so slowly.

  1. Anushka is a female name of Hebrew origin (Hannah), meaning "flower" or "grace/favor." The Russian diminutive of "Anna" (Hannah) is "Annushka." In Sanskrit it is a term of endearment meaning "first ray of light" or lightning," but is not usually used as personal name (though it is borne by the actree Anushka Manchanda, the actress, Anushka Shetty, and the musician Anoushka Shankar.
