Wind chimes
Send free
Their catch.
Lazy moonlight
Comforts
An early dawn.

Early Rains
My shadow the only shade;
I run home to open windows.
A crow laughs over seven lanes
And flies seven streets,
A hand through my hair!- it’s just breeze.
The airs cool when the lane dips,
And soft rain drips glass buttons.
Insight
The jade lawn,
The flower’s mud
Slipping deeper
Into myself.
Lighthouse
Sky fish
Lone cloud
Flies its own pace
Giant manta ray.
Insect life
Lady Bug
Holds fast a leaf,
Surfs the wind.
Human weather
On cold, windy, stormy nights,
Windows thump, rattle and beat,
The rain so quickly passed,
Like thuds of a human hearts.
Time dissolves
Too rare are my visits here
Where the city’s still
And every surge and pulse
of cloud and air you hear.
Feel free in your impulse
Where only birds trill.
Sunlight Monkey
In Tulu we call them Muuju.
Birds and trees
Listening
To the rythm
Of bird calls.
