Curtain falls

Many words you spoke to me

The epithet, ‘a sahithyan’

Still rings in my head.

Many an appearance you granted

The one with my studs on your lobe

Still sticks to my retina.

Time and space might make me unwanted.

Fear of scandal might force you to wind up.

I learnt it from your tone today.

Curtain falls. Episode is over.

The retina will retain it.
