Senryu
the
priest's eyes
blowing
the
conch
introduction —
the
newsboy
bangs
the gate
earbuds
right
and left
in a
mess
swaying
to the kirtan
the
sandal tilak
on
gran's forehead
home
time
scooping
the mixed chaat
with
a cardstock
a
new birdsong ...
the
kids resume jumping
on
the hay
dusk
field
every
mustard stalk feels
her
dupatta
full
attendance —
the
teacher skips
reproduction
speed
post —
the
clerk corrects
my
correct name
31st
December —
the
concert stage filled
with
plastic bottles
