Hot summer noon

                                                              Hot summer noon
                                                           Lonely and unending
                                                       The day is long, night is far
                                                                Forced holidays

                                                      Thoughts and imaginations
                                                                     Abound
                                                         Old memories take over
                                                              Childhood returns

                                                                Good old days
                                                            Sitting in the prairie
                                                          Under the mango tree
                                                           Ignoring the parents

                                                                 No boredom,
                                                              Untroubled days
                                                               Full of fantasies
                                                             Enjoying the heat

                                                              Birds are absent
                                                            A squirrel appears
                                                       holding half-eaten guava
                                                          And the day goes on
