Reminiscences

In grey zones of my cerebral hemisphere lies

A wild village almost buried under debris of

bygone years.And in the mozaic of my memory

stands adamant ahouse with clay walls old,

unrenovated,visible from its windows unending

stretch of wilderness-Long winter nights spent

under its roof listening to the elegiac notes

of howling jackals,shepherds'huts in vicinity

Their hounds vigilantly guarding goats from

ravenous wolves,rain pouring menacingly,ceiling

oozing and cowdung-coated floors getting damp

Today inhabiting an industrial desert,dwelling

a company quarter with amenities makes difference

With fragrance of life missing
