An Indian Summer

Maitreyee B Chowdhury

I slept on a bed of Jasmine last night Cuddled and enfolded in the Cotton of your love,

Crushed at times and in creases-

Bereft of the gentleness of rain

From some far off corner..of a night yet young Sang a cuckoo,

In a tongue unknown Far into the heady fragrance Of an Indian summer delight.
