Paint the floor red

Earnest spring
with morning calls 
Go away 
I await the fall
Mine 
And November too
When yellow and reds
Cover the hopes of all
That is a call I would answer
To slip in my bathroom 
Hit my head and abruptly die

When you chance upon
Walk carefully if my kitchen, 
   my haunt
The floor was replaced 
And rather skillfully
Move me, sit me up
Carry me,
 place me on wood
Maybe beneath the deciduous neem
Detach me from my iron ring
Set me alight
And never call

Go back, 
Get my bathroom mopped 
Place the ring on my narrow stall
Sprinkle some oil
Spill a burning lamp
Burn my home then
Burn it all

Set me and my land free
