Paradise

She cuts your nails with a cutter
looks for lice on your hair
that might have migrated from hers,
whilst you lie on her lap
getting fed with lychee
and chocolate-swap kisses.
Together do some funny reels -
that never get published -
visit a temple at night
do some shopping together
and return home
to watch a movie on her phone
sharing wired earphones,
not to disturb the family members
sleeping next room.
When you leave at early morning,
she hugs you tight
in her half-sleep
pleading you to not go,
yet you half-heartedly slip away
to catch the train
that returns for the coming weekend.
