HAIKU
songbirds
play slides
on a
bamboo stalk —
our
day out
just
one
perfect
conch shell –
mom's
beachcombing
full
moon –
a
pitch-black image
in
my cellphone
Pitri
Paksha
my
offering caws
across
the sky
whispering
waves
as
the silence slips
between
us
kids
do catfishing
in
floodwaters –
plastic
scraps
air
terminal —
mom
carries her child
on a
luggage cart
creaking
fan ...
forever
in queue
at
the cash counter
packaged
drinking water
all
over a scooter seat –
summer
juice stall
Khandagiri
–
the
langur taps on my head
for
a peanut handful
