an arduous journey

he goes to ahmednagar
to buy desi eggs desi murgis
brings them by bus
sells the at the corner of
de monte street on a cart
his mornings thus he starts
listening to old
film songs
that break your heart
he sells at a fair price
at this street side mart
he works he does not complain
though his life
is falling apart
this is the muslim man
living in mumbai
peacefully a cog
in the wheel of humanity
a vital part
he will be remembered
by all his hindu friends
when the time comes
for him to depart
a picture into
the soul of reality
