• hush the daylight and you were a thief • ( 5 ) big hands to the land of the metropolis you'd dropped. with the flash memory roving on your mind, you headed in the city. well known for its ironworks, for you getting an odd job was no great deal, what was, were the aspirations and labor you never knew. mattered now what seemed trivia to you, your sticky fingers, threadbare pockets, and hair-raising rentals demanding you to grind. sneaked through a gap in a chawl, an old calendar, the rat poison tucked in a corner, balconies for you strung in a history. you had mustered courage up now and winked- life transpires in a hundred thousand episodes, the word goes, let's move. but when was moving on easy for you? you steered for workmanlike thoroughness, contemporaries were always a notion for you. no wonder for a chap who'd once took refugee in silence, the radiance of the city lights felt shrill. ________________________________________________ Aishwarya Namdeo💙 #lifeofathief #citylife #aspirations #labor #chawl #life #microstories #movingon
