A lonely station
last train just passed
I just finished last chapter
of a boring novel
now like a withered leaf
I am on a corner bench
alone
waiting for my morning train
above my head
a revolving stage of stars and planets
all the distant stars, planets are useless to me
someone is singing
I looked here and there
a coolie with his little girl
he is trying to make her asleep
suddenly the girl opened her eyes
and asked, oh father, can you see ma now?
the coolie pretentiously looked at the dark sky
said with more pretentious joy
yes yes! she is there just beside the full moon
the girl nearing her face to his father's
said, is she saying anything to us?
the father said with a overjoyed wet eyes -
she is saying ask Munna to sleep,
I am sending a beautiful angel from here
to her dream
Munna smiled. Kissed her father's unshaved cheek
I don't know when I reached near to them
step by step
the coolie looked at me with an embarrassed smile
I smiled to cover my tears
and looked at dark sky
can't I have a glimpse of pretentious look from there?
