Poetry
From the farthest worlds of heavens above, sees a father then and now five long years of wait consummates; he reincarnates, and the world relishes.
Remembers a promise made to his son palliatively, Boxers day sparkles a twinkle within Father of father is born as a neonate; roller coaster ride; passage so thin.
The joyous sight of stool arriving, pleasant burping and a healthy cry,
The sleepless nights and sleepy days, The post feed milky white tongue Constipated father decided to retire
from the hospice Perhaps suspecting a nosocomial lung
Cough and breathlessness took his lady’s toll in-spite,
Cracked nipples were a sorry sight
Episiotomy stitches were threatening to gape,
Papa’ prestige and virtues were at stake.
No formula, water, sugar, gomutra*, panchakavyam**,
Dare you feed me any, Ill suck only mama’s milk,
Supportive stare, a wishful father’s treat,
The stubborn duo was very tough to beat.
Paracetamol before and after dosages seemed to work,
Routine immunisation and pulse polio at government facility; a fit of sulk,
Sacrifices of immense nature do a father make; a thousand miles of separation were truly a bulk.
All is well with me papa, don’t you bother,
Your emotions i understand are tough to gather.
Amazing regular and easy signals to interpret I will give you one or the other,
I might be tiny, but you too are just an inexperienced neonate’s father,
* Cows urine in local vernacular language
**preparation made up of cow dung, urine, and milk, curd and ghee.
