Friendship

Because we change; people change; distances lengthen and shorten outside our control. Still:

Snotty nose, weepy
eyes, swollen cheeks, a red face.
I still love you.

unexplained

Love is give and take 

says all the world in good faith;

but I have my doubts.

Monsoon Haiku

Wild ducks veer off course;

leaves fall; trees crash - our worlds tossed

around like rag dolls.

Drip, drop; flip, flop; splash!

White salwar, you've turned mud-brown.

Don't let Amma see!

Dirty old gutter

overflows; you don't walk, you

float, and so do cars.

She has been writing. 

Mind

Jack of no trade, nor

master of one; stubborn child

cannot but wander.

Rain

It is raining.

It is that time of the year when all the rain-fairies are out, and they light up the darkening trees and lend to those funny, rotund globules of rain glitters and shines and happiness. Us, too, if only we were to listen closely enough.

I was reading this blog today, and this is the result.

Rain

Drops of water fall
jewels from infinity
mortal once on earth.
