SHE LIKES US TO WALK TOGETHER THE BUSY CITY-ROADS

Anonymity is a function of these roads:
It is festival week
And the noisy city night
Rubbed our pasts off our names.

Among the clamor of the bazaar
I see your face receiving
The evening's chimerical patterns,
As moving lights kiss and flee the moving us;

I turn my eyes up
To study the patterns
Of April stars
As you stop at a bangle shop
To bargain in vain. 

The stars seemed like
Broken lights from an exhibit-design
That tried to replicate the bazaar ground.

They held the moon in a hazy wet bowl of light
and whispered through a hustle of the wind
How anonymity is their idea of a night.
