lyrics

Startled awake he points to the wall
And the ripples of light
Back to sleep, I say
That’s not sunshine
As the prayers begins 
The electric lights shut off
Do you remember now?
In the hot afternoon?
Not a thing, topsy turvy
On the other side of the world
Everything looks like pomegranates
And there are rose petals scattered at night
Girls in veils with downcast eyes
smiling into their bags of tea
Fourteen dishevelled cats
And tables as big as a house
I slip and slide with tinkling teacups
On teak and glass as the lion roars
And saraswati raises her bow
Boys wander aimlessly with lazy brooms
Or dash up trees to rooftops
Or open and close gates and
Forget to knock on doors
He’s seen me in all my glory
Or lackthereof as we move
Silently between becaks and buses
Waiting on street corners 
For long moments in the sun
A wave of our fingers and like magic
The traffic stops
Like magic, we hop and shop
With mangos in our hands
And some green oranges
