Grey-haired
Hanumans
Jumping, hanging by
The branches,
Alighting,
Striding along
The road,
Pausing by the houses

The roadside,
Asking for
Food
With a troupe,

Mother,
Son and daughter,
One near the hut,
Another atop it,
Another by the tree
Hanging onto,
Eating the leaves
And going by
One by one
Hanuman,
Black-mouthed
Hanumans.

What have youAfter taking wineAnd that too without taking food,Day and night,Cheaper country liquor,Not one time,But all times,Even in the empty stomach?The lips appear they burnt and white,The reaction of the spirits that I can see,The liver functioning it not wellAnd the doctor too has given you the warningAnd it is going to be the…
