ive been meaning to write another one of these for a while, due to the raging success of my last poem. special thank you to my editors/roomates manoj and general briggs.

bahut hi jaldi

woh baag mein beti thi
jawab ki inthezar mein
“mere bina mat jao”

woh thokar khaya
dheere se hasaa
“mujhe dosh na do”

usne fal kha li thi
woh chai pee liya tha
khoobsurat… andha… krodh

translation:

too soon

she was siting in the garden
waiting for an answer
“dont go without me”

he stumbles
laughing softly
“do not blame me”

she ate the fruit
he drank the tea
beautiful… blind… anger
