One or two dreams come and
land on the balcony every night.
The mind struggles with the heart
still warmth remains hidden
in the intense sunshine of love.
A thin slice of brown-winged bird
plays on the roof.
The heat wave of Chaitra brings to mind another current called love.
I make fuss in bed with a restless sailor.
I merge deeply into his veins.
Doyel’s continuous singing in the thick darkness drives me crazy.
Another bird breaks apart
the silence for a sunrise.
