When night’s nearly over
the dream announces itself-
One of the characters in the narrative
first shows where the house was situated,
then the lane,
the street-corner;
then as you trim the corner, there’s tile front door.
After that you catch a whiff of the damp hall,
and then, leaning against the frame of this scene,
and half-shadow,
its face hidden,
of that character you first encountered.
(Raghuvir Sahay)
