A little,too little Monsoon

Clouds moving between two buildings(Hyderabad,India)



Sitting seven houses above the ground,
yet,cars moving across the windows
splashing wet grass on my vacant face
my brain squeezed to a feather
that fell off a reposing bird today
at the feet of a girl ravaging
the authority of fear in puddles,outside
Night approaches like the wall to the windows
swallowing a little pride,and a little dance
and the rest

  4. I love that night swallows pride. Perhaps that is why I am so in love with the dark, with shadows. They have a familiar humility that makes me comfortable. I saw this poem in time lapse...the shadow of the wall moving steadily across the floor until it mates with the window, giving birth to your sustenance.

    And yes...your poems are wonderful. Lay with their heads on your lap. Perhaps you will love them too as you stroke their hair.

  5. Annie,
    thank you for this wonderful perspective...its strange how sometimes someone else's perspective makes things 'you' created look even more beautiful...and it is always invited ...maybe that is what this is all about at times...
