Chamber Music

Maturity comes with a punnet
of golden plums.
It says, refrain from eating the fruit.

Inside my room
there's another, an invisible one.

As the day sheds its colours,
the plums too become indiscernible.

And I am beginning to resemble
an old plum tree;
its leaves rustle as I breathe.
