Five Poems by Dr. Mona Bedi

 

Five Poems by Dr. Mona Bedi

family reunion 
the stench of relationships
gone sour

autumn birdsong
this deep wish
to return home

stirring the reeds
the silent swoop
of a kestrel’s shadow

playing dough --
I make myself
a perfect home

eerie silence
of the hospital corridor --
somewhere
in the night sky
fading stars

Dr. Mona Bedi, Delhi, India
