Thank you

by Subhankar Das

We do not have a Thanksgiving Day here
In this part of the world
And it was not the second Monday of October
Or the fourth Thursday of November
But still I thought I should say thank you
For the smell you kept locked in my cupboard
Thank you for the three beautiful mornings
Thank you for the waves that moved back to the sea
Thank you for the reality that never existed
Thank you for the dream where kisses were still alive
Thank you for the mad days, thank you, thank you.
