by Shailendra Chauhan
They have
closed the door
and discussing
and creating something
I am sitting idly
in the lawn
under the open sky
on green pious grass
close to lamp-post
Bicycles, motors, trucks
are running in the street,
I am unable to concentrate
I listen to the
pruning sound of shears
Somebody is
trimming the
myrtle plants,
I talk with him
They are inside-
this perturbs me
I am outside
under the open sky-
this makes me happy
