Passages Here 8
Humid and hot
Sticky weather persists;
Not even a breeze
Quick strides stumble
Sandy footpath skid;
Jerky reactions
Fruit vendor smiles
Full harvest and more:
Pineapples, guava, durians
Extra long queues
Food court sanctuary;
Hungry mouths parade
Here we go again
Newspaper vendor;
Politically inclined
When I discern
Do I see truth;
Beauty is fleeting
Charm speaks
Drama surfaces;
Sensibility evaporates
Too soon sunset swings,
Abrupt twilight falls;
Tea cup almost empty
Sudden moan and groan
Aches and pains sculpt;
Final testament
