Spring cleaning one noon,
In the attic, wipe the dust
Off, wedding album.

Festival of lights;
Child sells crackers to adults,
No sparkle in eyes…

A patch of green fields-
A flock of egrets flutters:
Look in disbelief…

Am four and a half
She said with pride in eyes.
You? I just forgot, dear...

Proud to be self made,
An egotist's tall claim... at work
Invisible hands.

Cancer takes its toll
Unfazed- a glimpse in her soul…
Bald and beautiful.

a song on the lips
a swing in the gait and hips
flushed after first kiss...

City dressed in lights,
Awaits Goddess’ arrival;
Child makes Rangoli…

A Child’s contempt
Far worse than labour pain,
gnaws- raw without scab.

One atop another
White hen caged in a rickshaw;
Red beaks, why no squeak…
