Long dead of night and day...
Half-awake, half-dreaming.
Thunderstorm outside,
The raging raindrops sing.
Purple candle light.
Drowsy, tired eyes...
A warm-blooded earthling
Soaked in the tub.
Intense thoughts of chicken tandoori
And cheese naan from 'Kapitan'...
All these and a placid, deep snooze,
To salvage myself, I choose.
