LIFE AND LEMONS

Lemon-colored negligee, hair tousled

don't care that my window is open

the street outside empty,

quarantined and anxiously scanning oximeters -

measuring each breath while regrets pile up.


Pour myself a glass of warm water

with lemon and honey - just so, the lemon

let Sunlight in...and Air...


Can Covid fly in too with lemon Sunlight?

Neighbor's doors strung Neem leaves guarantee

purity with lemon Sunlight that might be closing in on Doomsday

that is not because of Big Bang but because the Human Race has lost the ability to breathe and talk of the Second Coming of Jesus now

they of the Making who World Wared I & II

whole cities shot down and Twin Towers bombed.


And I, in my lemon-colored negligee

sit idly sipping tea wondering when I'd be able to travel again? -

Not travel per se but the option to

meanwhile choose and choice being between Swiggy and Zomato while watching Netflix.
