What do you think this poem is about?

A word

O there is a word
You come to me
And take me away
To your home.
O there is bird
Who come to me
To see how I am
Preparing myself
To face the doom.

No word no bird
Now you see desert
And you are calling me
When I am enjoying
The dust and the dirt.
O my dear friend
Please come and come
You are welcome
Just for the sake of the sun
Just for the sake of mart
And that is our chat.

    'come to me

    First, Gajanan, thanks for your comment on my desert poem, Labeche.
    Now to review your popular piece, A Word. A light piece on relationships, I think,
    and wondering how your intentions will be received by your friend. Well put,
    the next to the last line is confusing to this outsider, mart but is likely not a
    problem for those familiar with Indian culture...I am from Indiana in the US,
    our nickname, we are Hoosiers which would likely throw you off, if I used it in
    a poem. Enjoyed your piece.
