Haiku

receding waves coming to terms with what is

drenched in the unspoken autumn rain

missing trains you wait for the Hogwarts Express

the echoes and re-echoes of sanctitude ganga aarti

falling leaves
you bow down
to a new god

being dragged
despite my protests
wedding dances

maple spinners—
the childish pirouettes
on the swings

winter stars held by night baby's breath

blinking cursor :: a Laxman rekha of words

silencing the mind white bellbird

my unhinged self snowdrop

catching all the vowels sequoia

ecdysis
deleting unused apps
from amma’s phone

wild violets a gift of the unseen

a field of strength dogwood blossoms

rushing
waterfall
the
calm
of
moss-covered
rocks
