The Childhood Sound



The early cuckoo
Cued in my sleep
I leaped in my shorts
And ran out to the deep.
He gave a poor throw
I caught it with a brilliance
Once the bat had hit it far
Saying goodbye & a good riddance.
We made the ball
From the cloth and socks
No windows to break
No watches, no clocks.
At the tenth ray of the sun
We had to run 
From our Cricket's street
To embrace Amma's soft beat.

The days and nights hopped around
Those were my lunchbox days
As I see back from my window
The sea waves are roaring loud,
Whispering in is the childhood sound.
