Poems For Irfana Poet Free verse

Wall

Jan 2013
Chennai

I don'’t make sudden moves at nights
You lay next to me,
One of your arms over my back
I don'’t want to wake you up in a start_
     She hates it


     The wall should not be here, so close to me


I don’'t pull at the sheets if it uncovers me
You do that often,
     She will say the same of me
I cover your shape when I wake up
Curled-up like a baby


     But the wall should not be here, near my face


I sleep on the far side from the wall
     She likes to be inside,
     Between the wall and me.

     I face away from the wall slowly.

     You are here when I sleep.
