a lazy noon...

I stare at the unmoving leaf
Willing it to move
So that there may be a gentle breeze
On this hot summer noon,
A crow broke the stare
I returned to the staring contest.
A bee hummed past
A feather hurtles
I lie unmoving
Staring at the still leaf,
A housefly torments me
Till it settles on the mango peel.
Sweat drops tantalize me
I do not take my eyes off from the leaf
Willing it to move
Till the maid removes the painting to dust it...
