I Am Waiting For The Wallnuts Poem by Mohammad Younus

I'm waiting...
For the walnuts...
That you store...
In the water pitcher.

And which you...
Ritually save...
For Hairuth Puja¹.

You would give me...
...as a prasād...
...some wet walnuts
They were delicious
So sweet!
And so cold!

When shall you...
Send to me again
My share
From your love
I'm still waiting
