City couplets | Namrata Narendra

February 22, 2022

      

My feet are playing catchup with my senses,
Upar neeche, aage peeche.

Sounds draw me in,
sights and smells, I drown in

Creasing my clothes,
caressing my soul.

Bombay to me is a cup of coffee,
I order it for the decadent sip,
ignore the bitter after-taste
and wait for the caffeine jolt.

Authors : Namrata Narendra 


Namrata is an architect, illustrator and closeted poet. Her interests lie in documenting socio-cultural interfaces of cities and communities.
