Ashtami and Navami
being the forbidden days
in the Hindu calendar,
every fifteenth day
they knock the door,
the most unwelcomed ones.
They count
eighth and ninth days
from Full and New Moons.
A belief, that seems unbelievable.
says they are days which land
one in grief.
This is mere superstition,
I tell my friends, just ignore
and go ahead.
It is between you and me, so to say
I fear Ashtami and keep away
from Navami.
