Now I remember !
Sumeekha K
He once told me
there were a leash of foxes
heeding and sniffing at my doorside
without making a sound.
when i fell asleep on the otherside of the door.
From where did they come?
When I was a child too afraid of dark and nightly shadows, even a bend of darkness made me scream.
I do remember
when I heard their howling in distant
I hold my father tightly.
Now I am neither scared of its howling
nor its blazing eyes.
An entwined memory of of paternal bond and fearfulness made us life long fellas?
Are they still looking at my doorside?
A leash of foxes!
From where did they come?
Did they jump out of some forgotten shrubs of memories?
