S L U M B E R Poem by Sachidananda Panda

Tell them to stop the crackle, its wee hour
Stop the milkman, Not to knock at the door
Well…! The morning glow can wait
No matter if Azzan is delayed or the Prayer
As the drizzle is still there

If school time differs who cares...?
Tell the Boss to have patience
As, am sunk in a drunken depth
And Relishing a warmer essence
If war breaks out I don't bother
Am' safely kanoodled by
My love's feral perimeter

I don't mind, days deferred schedule
let me live with my own module
where is the logic of pro-rata separation
Of days and night with equal hours
Let the day be shorter and
Night carry much longer
Am yet to be done with, adding
More fire to the morning slumber
