East And West

 I

recall

you said

your nose bled

you couldn't stand the cold

for the first time,  your teeth were clattering

you felt the pang of missing home in the warmth of golden rays 

your mind flew thousand miles while you were clad in thick clothing even  though
 the heater was on day and night

six years was like yesterday, now you've got used to the new environment

surprisingly when you came back home, you complained

stepping out of the plane

you couldn't stand

the warmth

searing

you

I

write

this today

thinking of you

outside it is still drizzling

it looks like snow, cold  kisses my skin

imagination flies far,  if I were there, I'd feel I'm in a fridge

my teeth won't just clatter, they might get frozen, mom would get the fright of her life 
seeing the new me

I'm smiling now thinking of the uniqueness of life at two different places 

evening here but you're about to enjoy breakfast

wishing you a nice day

my dear sister

I really

miss

you
