Indian Shop Nostalgia (For Sharmishtha)
I remember Mulal
The Indian shopkeeper
Taking my mother’s order
With an overhead gaze
Seized by Indian music
Patiently waiting
For my choice of candy
How someone else
Had peppered sardines
With bread and Spur Cola
While a broken heart
Grievously sang
Of committing suicide
