On Naukuchiya Lake -
It slipped some where
I couldn’t felt that.
I realized it
When I reached to hotel.
The barer asked me: Any thing you missed, sir?
What should I answer.?
Came out to search it
with a glow-worm
On my forefinger .
Removed dry leaved from
Pits of the walk way
And checked.
Checked into saffron beak
Of fly catcher.
Asked to creepers
Asked to fence
Awaked sleeping moss.
Took rounds of the lake
With heart in my hands.
But
I did not found it.
In the morning
While checking-out from Hotel,
My wife confirmed:
Every thing is there. Nothing is left out.
But
When I lifted the luggage
My hands became dead …
