House

Yati Raj Ajnabee
Adelaide, Australia

Until yesterday
the house was so bare and subdued
as hibernal flora forgotten by the birds
flown off to hunt for prey
in all direction at the crack of dawn

The house has now grown into    
mosque, convention center, refuge
cinema, temple, restaurant
gym, stadium athenaeum
hotel, tabernacle and
school where man is learning lessons
not learnt in universities

These many setups are housed today
in the small house man couldn’t
diurnally fit himself in until yesterday
the house is finally like a home

The spring has sprung
brought buds and birds back
to the boughs of the nearby woods
soothingly the vernal breeze is blowing the leaves
singing are the birds the butterflies dancing
it appears as though a symphonic play’s in display
