SAM CLUB DAY ‘16

A Girl in another City
(From the poet's blog www.thepoe cmeanders.blogspot.in)

- Parth Adhikari '2k11

In another city, a girl,
Whose hair caress her pre y face
When the breeze trespasses gently
Her soul, then in a so embrace,
Nestles her in its en rety;
She must be si ng at the bay
Now, in that another city
Which - what a pity, is far away.

In another city, a girl,
Whose fingers fidget with the hemline
Of her coat, awaits her flight home.
She's melancholy, but is “Fine”
When someone asks her how she's doing;
Her suitcase hates the delay,
It lies morbid in the lobby
Which - what a pity, is far away.

In another city, a girl,
Whose coffee has gone from strong to stale
Is pondering at the spectrum
Up in the sky, thinking it'll fail
To persist like the one she saw
Ages ago that rainy day,
In that valley - her second home
Which - what a pity, is far away.

In another city, a girl,
Whose mind is currently confused
Between two voices and choices
She's to make, that she has refused
To make up un l now, but me
Has held her prisoner this day
Inside tenuous walls in a world,
Which - what a pity - is far away.
