Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Rhyme

Summer Cooking For Slumber

SUMMER COOKING FOR SLUMBER 

At the edge of the Thar desert in a city
the simmering summer sun doesn’t set
before it blazes the day at 45 degree C.
On rock slab of backyard I can make an omelet.

Hungry, I enter instead the kitchen in a hurry
from the glare of the smoldering day sunny,
cook quick corn, cabbage and carrot curry,
to beat the heat eat with mango chutney.

For dinner under the sizzling starry sky,
yogurt drenched salad of cool cucumber
I make like an expert chef and eat with fish fry.
When the air cools I slip into summer slumber.
