Antidotes

@MjayDixit
oh! rain, you are here
now stop rapping at my door
I’m coming out
sober blue evening
gradually bleeds rosé wine
and gets drunk to night
at time of eclipse
a little girl asks me why
the moon looks angry
crowd cheers the old man
moonwalking on the pavement
tree’s sunset shadow
cold dim–amber skies
of a December evening
turn hot–red embers.
mild curious breeze
ruffles my hair with cold hands
I miss your warm kiss
flood of sunlight falls
on her face as she sleeps late
pretty as the dawn
clouds become black drapes
with roughly woven holes and
moon peeps from behind
morning sun rays
shimmer on a web of spider
waiting for breakfast
