midnight rain

Dawn and dusks comes and goes

At 2 in the morning (or should i say night!)

I sit huddled in the balcony

My thighs tightly pressing my breast

To press down a pain that chokes my breath.

The peacock cries on—

Ugly sounds of joy and ecstasy.

A lone dog whimpers somewhere

Echoing my helplessness and vulnerability

Rain hurts him (as it needles me)

And the peacocks continue to cry—

Shrilly triumphing in its desire satisfied.
