Haiku
autumn lane —
the
madman face to face
with
a puddle
guava sunrise —
grandma
tucks the pallu
at
her waist
burning husks …
mom's
incense
in
every room
she jumps
on
the packed bus
jasmine
gust
the child
cups
magic in her hands
red
admiral
swallowing
a
painful lump
of
ice cream
no bites
except
for mosquitoes
daybreak
Bihu
the
stack of hay
on
a bicycle
noon fair —
a
cheering crowd encircles
the
cockfight
hillock climb —
the
tea plucker fills her basket
with
folk songs
