Does the Rain Know

This morning too 
clouds are dominant 
water drops on
window glass 

On the lake-bank 
sits a grey kite
eyeing for the 
fish to jump 

There on road
a basket on head
filled with guava 
of a young boy 

Eighty rupees a kg 
he might sell it
in the raindrops 
a pink face 

The sari is still wet
what would wear she
does the rain know 
Jamuna is sullen

Love the observational poetry, Probir! Reads like sequenced haiku!
