Day 22 #napowrimo - day 16 #the100dayproject - Ghazal

I'm on prompt today by borrowing a Hindi phrase and crafting a ghazal around it.

जंगल मेँ मोर नाचा किसने देखा? (jangal mein mor naca kisne dekha)

Direct translation: Peacock danced in the forest, who saw?

Ghazal

I combed my fingers through your hair as you slept

and a peacock danced in the forest, who saw?

I washed the floors and cleaned the dishes

and a bear danced in the forest, who saw?

I fluffed your pillows and hung up your suits

and a tiger danced in the forest, who saw?

I scrubbed the toilet bowl and the stained sink

and a monkey danced in the forest, who saw?

I whispered I love you and it was lost in our bed sheets

and a cobra danced in the forest, who saw?

I made you coffee with sugar and a dollop of cream

and an elephant danced in the forest, who saw?

I walked down the forest trail and never came back,

who saw?

I took my clothes off and danced naked in the forest,

who saw?
