From Everywhere
trochee

You live and lean in the English sunlight
 1
that shines every day
 2
from your hair down to your shadow,
 3
buzzing with an air of freshness tied
 4
around your wrinkled dress
 5
like the scent of early rain showers.
 6
 
 
You fall like a dream into revolving silkworms
 7
gestating with breaths of flight in their skin
 8
knitting freedom thread by thread.
 9
 
 
You take offense like the butterflies
 10
and cringe like the clattering pebbles at the seashore.
 11
 
 
I wait for the arrival of your voice
 12
to steal the deafness of the stones we skipped together,
 13
to chase away the Indianness off your cheeks
 14
and travel places from here, to everywhere.
