Monsoon to me
Means a wet creeper climbing unto my window
While I sit there, devouring a novel
An old novel, with its edges torn
A discovery from my uncle’s a rickety shelf…
Yellowed pages, eaten up by fungus
Sitting on dad’s archaic bed
At my ancestral place
In the nights,
Ruthless thundering
And the fear of a snake sneaking in
Monsoon to me
Means a scooty ride
After a tiring day,
The air clean of dust
The road shining clean…n vehicles rushing home
Me crying to loosen the heart
Drenched in tears and rain…
Monsoon to me
Means the coconut tree near my window
Beating the glass pain…
And it raining throughout the nights…
Monsoon to me
Is waking up
One Sunday morning
To find puddles in my backyard…
Watching news with a cuppa in hand
The rest of the state brimming with floodwaters…
Strange thoughts,
Dreams that would never be true
Frequenting my mind every now
And then…
