By Payal Priya
I hear the cat moaning, as I lay naked in your arms
Ma used to say, "A cat's moan is ominous”, Is it?
Is the cat my mom's messenger, calling me out?
Ma loves me a lot but….
If she sees me gulping clear vodka.
I have often joined my chachis in bhajan
Marbo re Shugwa dhanuk se,
Shugwa gire murujhaye.
But…
Will they join my drunken dance?
I love it when you call me Senorita
Reeking of alcohol
Gulped by smoke,
The cat's call is ominous.
I have missed papa's calls
Sitting on some chair in a library, lost in books but...
If I miss it now when I am in your arms!
They told me I come from the head
Papa told me, I am his pride.
Ma told me that a cat's moan is ominous.
I think I was born out of a womb,
Let’s agree, I was born out of the head. But.…
If you were born out of the feet of the same Brahma.
Wins my heart and I lay naked in the warmth of your arms,
Will they I love with all my heart
Will they love me? will they say "You are our pride"?
Love, not withering like flowers but pricking like thorns
They chased me, flogged me, burnt me alive
They had said " You are our pride"
The cat's moaning is ominous!
