The girl in the room 105
came down to the lobby
to meet me.
Did I know that a soul
had come to meet me
now? The heartbeat got
brighter, from the time
of her arrival, suddenly
agreed, she asked me
the address of Keshav.
I was wondering if this
is the same zara loan,
whose news of death
was given to me today
by Keshav. Does love
really matter when you die?
