Original Submission by Ishita Somani

“मिट्टी”

रात में मिट्टी ने अपना दम तोड़ा होगा.... एक नहीं, असंख्य बार।

असंख्य बार उसे मेरे दरवाज़े खुलने की आवाज़ भी आई होगी

और क्या ठीक इसी वक़्त

मिट्टी की साँसें ऊँची-नीची हुई होंगी?

पेड़ के चारों तरफ़ फैली मिट्टी में

हलचल हुई और आवाज़ आई

“मैं इतनी डरपोक कहाँ! लगता है

तेरी ही साँसें कुछ देर के लिए अटक गई थीं।”

फिर हँसकर मैंने भी जवाब दिया, “हाँ, शायद”

हाँ.......

शायद।
