My younger brother
My mother was not seen around;
Father never told me about mother.
I was longing to see her.
In the age of four
I never date to lave our door.
One fine morning;
With her motherly
Broad smiling
Almost singing
Saw her coming
Cute small chap
Rolled on her arm
Sleeping gloriously
I felt jealous
My mother has gone
So far I was the don
Before I complain
-mother said
Look your brother is here.
I stared at the innocent chap
And never asked mother-
Where the fellow c.o..m..e
Fellow was so happy;
Kicking on the air
Screaming and giggling
Spreading arms at random
Not bothering me at all.
Sucking the fingers
Like lowly pop
And blinking all over the sky.
Mother repeated--
"This is your brother -take
care of him".
I examined little fellow.
Little eyes, ears, nose
Golden hair, no teeth
Tender arms, solid thighs
Round navel
And just below flickering bulb
From where he blessed me
With hot water,
I could not but kiss the fellow
