She was on a verge of breakup with me
She expressed her reason
in a mild voice
and sad tone she told me
“you will sleep with anyone you see”
There after I slept with
Wind
Rain
Little cold in the monsoon nights
along with thunder and lightening
Alone but with sounds of Cicada
Listening to the cry of wild wools
and with the sounds of lizard
Shadow of thoughts on her
Now
I want to write a letter
describing her
with whom all I have slept with
and want to ask
if she has slept with anyone.
