milky way

nolen gur …
the warm taste of winter
on my tongue

 

ferrying clouds
the boatman
bursts into raga malhar

 

her flushed cheeks
when she catches him staring
a glowing angeethi

 

the tart taste
of childhood memories
raw mangoes

 

a little girl
on her brother’s shoulders –
the Rath Yatra rolls by

 

darkest hour…
Kali’s smile
in the diya
