a may morning sun zooms in
on a meditative sow,
her squealing brood,
beside a sealed, plastic bin.
a sparrow on a coral wood tree
emailed the moment.

...........

10 years ago when the bank branch opened,
shiela was the first official,
alice her first client.
shiela has greyed;
alice is cottony.
spend daily whispering moments.


...........


meditation hall.
fenced gardens.
flowers shine the sun.


...........


kudremukh forests.
cold walks.
still streams.


..........


the banyan on station road,
is older than its roots.
hard to prove, though.

........

cormorants in arrow-head, wavy
formations.
fly out in the mornings.
fly in, in the evenings.
