One day
Will coat the
Brightest corner of the courtyard
With cow dung.
Will draw you
On it
With rice powder
Sometimes, due to haste
Might forget to sketch
Certain details
Surely
A toe to bite on
Hair that sways like a boat
And
*******
With grains measured in a brimming para *
I want to snuggle
Like a baby
In
Its shades
Dreaming of a river
Through which flows love.
