Circus Avenue



as i crossed the road
in the circus avenue
came across
a sweet little girl
hiding her face
with her tiny hands
stood at the lonely corner
of the sprawling boulevard
i stopped and turned
enquired her purpose.
she removed her hands
with a lot of persuasion
retorted sharply

who are you?
i am your new friend
why you have come to me
i love you at first sight
ok my friend -do you have an answer
of what my sweety
my mom and dad separated
so sad my hun
i love both, yes both of them
so nice of you
tell me whom should i choose

i was stunned by the firm voice
kept silent for a while
made an effort to console her
put my arm over her shoulder
only to find her slipped away
from my clutches
and ran away shouting

i know you can not answer
only he can – i will go there

her hands pointing at the blue sky

she lost in the narrow lanes
branching from the main road
i could not see her anymore
i touched my palm
felt the warmth
folded my hands
and prayed for her answer
all the leafy trees lined on both
sides of the deserted avenue
listened to my prayer in silence.
