The day before seeing you
Sky
Is unreasonably
Overcast.
Plaintain stalks
Quarrel with each other
Birds go silent
Friends talk
In some other language
When the tea vendor
Asks for change
I give him a pen
When the girl in the office
Asks for the headset
I hand over my mobile
Car’s key
To the beggar
A crow
Scolds me
Asks me
Where have I gone
I ask myself the same
The day before
I came to see you
No
Nothing
Hope
It’ll rain
Tomorrow
The sky
Grins knowingly.

The day before seeing you

Overcast.
Plaintain stalks
Quarrel with each other
Birds go silent
Friends talk

When the tea vendor
Asks for change
I give him a pen
When the girl in the office
Asks for the headset
I hand over my mobile

Scolds me
Asks me
Where have I gone
I ask myself the same
The day before
I came to see you
No

Hope
It’ll rain

The sky
Grins knowingly.
