Clay and Stone Stay Longer

   Clay  and Stone  Stay Longer

When  I  started  revamping my  loft
Containing Brass, and  Silver utensils,
Also  a  Clay pot,  memory  revitalizes
Past   and  ancestral lineage. That  specific
Pot  was used in   musical  orchestra  as
A  music  accompanying  artist’s instrument.
 The Chiseled  clay sang  tunes  and rhythms  
For  the Great  uncle  used to play  with
His  dexterous  hands, his  fingers  spoke
 unique  language . He  gifted it to me
to foster music  and melody. Until I find
a suitable player, I preserve it in my  loft.
  Now,  a  shift  to my grandma’s  mansion.
 How  often   I recollect   my  grandma’s
Home, my pride ancestral lineage, the
Stone  slab covering  the  main  entrance,
The  numbers  engraved still stupefy me,
What does it signify? You delve deep
Into  the past. The  inmates, the dwelling,
Their  mode of living. How oftener we
Have walked over it, erasing many a
Spilt  scar, tar and  tin, but  nothing  can  Erase 
Memory of them whom I know,
Their  habits  in the habituation .
