When the home did not exist

                                         Diwali at baba-ma's place, Kolkata, 2013.
She came swooping down
To great astonishment of all
Onto a busy road, among the buses
Cars, two-wheelers and what not
A spectacle of inner struggle
Of a troubled soul
Trampling the senses underneath, a life of love
A kite’s distress was on the show, 

Shadows moved, one breath at a time
And the dreams lay, awake
As the dreary night refused to go
Playing ghosts and spirits, dancing as they wished
A mockery of the fine intellect
With their senseless acts
It was a dreary deed that the fate played
With no hope and no destiny, even

The home did not exist.
