The Delivery

The sound crept in…

Clouds move

Sound of wind fades

Moon shaded by clouds

Pushes back and forth

Alas! it lights up.

Me with my teacup

Soon a sound approaches

Crawling into my ears

A motorbike from far

Halts near my car

Knocking on the window

The bike guy says

"Here's your pizza delivery"

I heaved out an exhale

As my thirst for food

no longer prevails.
