farewell - a song still trembles in the harp strings rustle of leaves - the music of all that lives and dies vermilion sky - the silence of her footsteps across the courtyard train window - moon from home comes along all the way Selected Haiku...
hydrangea clouds -
how deep the layers of this longing soldier's homecoming - the evening star so close in the window rain tipped leaf - the moist edges of her lashes |
|
Selected Haiku...
|
gran's funeral - stringing a lullaby in the wreath another savan - a widow's white dupatta against a rainbow soap bubbles... a rainbow glides off my palm hearth soot- all that remains of grandma's recipes |
lengthening shadows - a drop of the sun slips from my hand overnight showers - the day moon trembles in a bomb crater an old scar- the rain feels colder than ever
|
the same pull in every scar - prisoners of war so many diyas adrift on the lake - memorial day balloons... a bit of my breath up at the ceiling prayer meeting - an unsolved crossword on the mantlepiece |
