The wet distance between
Creation and desires 
Compressed by differently 
Smelling bodies;
Contours interlocked in 
Unimaginable positions 
Tired travellers doze off 
Into happy deliverances
Jerked back to dreariness
By the steely shrieking of
Rolling wheels;
A poster appears from nowhere
‘Lost lovers contact urgently
There is a remedy to heartaches
Caused by love and spite’
Suddenly people go out of range
Dead instruments in hands 
Vacant stares into wet darkness
Still the presence of those two 
Evokes memories of bliss 
Amongst the ghost like travellers;
A potion that gets life back to bones
Rain washes away the flowers
From a girl’s umbrella
And stitches stars on to it
Night, a cavern of illegible forms
With a lone starry umbrella floating
Arched underpasses 
Into which there flows 
Black ink of sorrows 
Under each footstep 
Silently they walk into it
Led by a child holding 
A starry umbrella.
