Approaching the Night

The fog delays alighting;
Suddenly I appear in that street.

the moon tries to peep out of the well

The wind chases a song all over the street.

As if some stranger I am watched uneasily.

A bunch of dogs come swimming
and get buried in the gaps of fence.

Losing consciousness
chaos escape the memory.

Rain that went past me
reaching the street-corner where I stood
was returning.

Despite closing skilfully
dog’s tail wags outside imagination.

The eyes of some passing across
hang me, who they had carried away,
upon a tree.

Slipping off the hands of those dragging me
Night has fallen down.

Better to lose even those things carefully guarded
and go searching for them in his company.

With many a moment of imagination turning blurred
I am left in a dense jungle directionless.

Behind the staircase, cowardly feet were stealthily
Climbing.

I am forcibly evicted from
the Night of few minutes.

These do not take place in just one night.
