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
