From Bread to Heart

From the window

A square in a bread

Eaten by mouse

I look through it

A stomach of it

Through a bread

I see a creature 

as a male

Because the saying goes

“To enter into man’s heart

Is through his stomach”

And a mouse,  i despise

They are the pics of mouse,i love

I teach my children 

M for “Mouse” 

M for “Man”

Here, i draw this analogy

I can see through 

window of bread

Those two eyes

Hungry or greedy

I don’t know 

But those eyes made me 

Let go off that piece

To forgive that small mouse

I can see in his heart

That piece of bread

Reached in his heart

That’s why, i see him hovering

often around my kitchen

Otherwise for him 

food is available everywhere

it’s my big heart

And his loving heart

Kept on building windows

In the loaf of bread

Window connecting

heart to heart
