- HOW MANY MORE HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, KRISHNA? You just arrived. I tried not to accept you- I have too many props already. Then you sat comfortably on a satin pedestal. At first I decided to ignore you but you persisted. You were more human than us You made me cook sweet pongal give you lavish milk baths and drink raw milk after that I was willing you to disappear I was helpless love me ,love my god I tried, but you came in between. Give a man an inch and he'll take a mile give a god a space and He'll take what was yours. Alright , I have my kids. But here also you pop up I buy you a birthday kit from Krishna Sweets butter and cheese and hard round crispies, when you were not there we adjusted with pizzas but you are regal demanding your full weight in gold. You are Salagramam I am sullied mom I am benevolent mother You are the satisfied intruder. And now you are trying out new tricks and I am racking my brains to keep you cool I offered to bathe you in sandal paste. You sweat You breathe ,you You sleep, you wake You are an uninvited guest I cannot write a single line not thinking of you My husband leaves you alone but You sit at home and squat plumb oval black You have non human finger prints to me you will always be fossil a stone with water inside a natural phenomenon No swaha, no swahe Eat and be merry. Happy Birthday Krishna.
