*Reads out a quote to mom.*

Mom — Awwwwww.

Me — Ikr! It’s so beautiful na?

Mom — Arey I was yawning. Btw nice. Makes me sleep. Ek aur padho, ye bed time story bahot accha hai.

-

The words lying around rub eyes,
Stretching out, they start to yawn.
Like a mother, I lift them in my arms,
caressing their backs, I wake them.

Pata hi nhi chla kab zindagi TV serials de dramo jaisi ho gyi..
Ek musibat jaati nhi ki usse badi musibat gate pr khade hokr muskurate huye puchhti hai - Mai khud aau ya aap mera welcome kroge?

-

A spark that creates a million sparks

-

I call yawning
the silent scream
for me to
slump into nightmares

when I am at
peace.

-

तू अंगड़ाई लेती है

मेरी जान निकल जाती है ।

अरे यार तू Deodorant

क्यों नहीं लगाती है?

I love how you yawn.
Putting cursives to rest,
Bringing lips together to
Elongate exclamations,
You make a hole on the
Face of the world put on a paper
When you slowly open your mouth.
You give out all the names
You wanted to take but couldn't
In that moment of soft sound
You make.
It appears as one of those weird
Essentials to yawn once in a while.

You're worked up. You deserve it.

-

While you're away
I reminisce those moments
when we talked
and I told you
how yawns are infectious
as we yawned
one after another
you blaming me
for faking a yawn
every time it followed yours
Yawns are infectious
See, I am talking about that day
and yawning widely
only your yawns
are what are missing
only the lazy memories
yawn here with me

-

Days flit past like rows of trees
As my train hurtles on,
Tasks at hand light up the night
While stars flicker and yawn.

रात बिस्तर पर कुछ ऐसा खेल था,
उसकी सिसकियों ने पूरी रात जगायी
सुबह उठकर वापस डाली वही नजर
तो उसकी अँगड़ाई भी शरमाई
