The "Falling" Absence

Penned By B D Narayankar

In the dark, dusky yesterday night
beyond the office glasses
between two birds perched
on either side of the road
The rain fell, quietly, gently
neatly

There were noises
There were vehicles
They were plying

Beyond the rattling sound
somewhere in my heart
on another turf
your absence fell, gently, quietly
all night
drip by drip
