15 Haiku
crowded streets
moving among the
years
wretched faces
a sleeping snake
curled between the
eggs—
layers of leaves
a yellow spider
crouching in a
corner
invisible webs
lying listless
on withered creeper
a golden bird
a lone sparrow
atop the naked
branch
viewing sunset
a frog
bullied into the
hedge:
snake’s breakfast
on the road
an injured toad—
onlookers
parents pelt stones
at the mating street
dogs—
nosey children
potholes:
spots of sunshine
wobble
sudden downpour
noisy trucks at
midnight
crowded footbridge
sipping coffee
at a wayside stall
cockroaches too
watching dogs
frolicking in the
park—
jaded couples
dusky backyard
crowded parrots’
shrieks
autumn onset
chasing each other
in the by lane
two birds
a teenager
glides past me on
roller blades
her long hair flows
