- Last - Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

The last time
I ordered was
In December
2021.

She was there
On that day,
And had liked
The food from
The takeaway.

So today
While
Ordering,
I was really
Missing her,
As I was
Getting food
From that
Takeaway but
Not being able
To share with
Her....

Soon after
I finished
Ordering,
Lo and Behold!
She called me
And I told her
How much I was
Missing her....

And how I can't
Share with her
The beauty of
The crescent moon
Like the way
I used to call her
To show the
Beautiful moon
Thru the window.

She told me,
She had dialled up
As she just felt like
Calling; she was
Missing me, Raj
And daddy --
My dearest,
Darling Kochi.

Now don't you
Tell me, you don't
Believe in telepathy!
