Poem
Nilim Kumar
Door of Words
The door is ajarThis is not the one
that was referred to in
“My door will remain forever open for you”
A simple door it is
A cat just walked through it
And would sip the milk
if the house-owner wasn’t alert enough
The lady chased away the cat
and shut the door
Then
she too felt the desire
like the cat
to walk through the door
referred to in
“My door will remain forever open for you”
and to return
without the milk being sipped
The door of words
closes.
