Reclining comfortably in her chair
wearing a beaming smile
she was watching her
kid, with her instinctive motherly care and affection.
Sitting alone in the portico
looking outside humming a tuneless tune
meaningless to the elders and to himself.
Talking to himself or to nobody
which was meaningless or with a
meaning known to him only
indecipherable too it was.
At times, gifting smiles to
the strangers passing down the road,
she tried in vain to recollect her childhood memories
while she too was a kid
with her eyes full of tears
she recalled her parents
who were no longer by her side
who must have
nurturing
memories of her childhood.
She threw her eyes to the chick
sitting outside humming a tuneless tune
or talking to himself
she saw her childhood through him
with her eyes to the brim…
