Transitions and Contrasts: Just like the Seasons
Scorching, sweltering, drying, draining
The Candle of the Sky, now a supernova
Chirping birds cry out for drops of draught,
The strays of streets too, dying or suffering.
The poor farmer’s heart, broken,
Like...

Guarded by towering hills on the East 
And flanked by the Arabian Sea on the West

Delhi seems  closer than it was last time. 
After a tea with GST, 
on to a backstreet  of Varanasi, 

Untouched by authority; 
ignored more by memory 
than darkened by amnesia.

Their satchels (twenty five) within auto-rickshaw seats dumped,
Same number (small and big; fat and lean; boys and girls) tight-clumped;
Some hanging; some stamping; some hitting and kicking each one;
The driver, gliding as though great battle won...

Once, they claimed to hold the torch,
To light the world with truth and reason.
But the West’s media empire—
Was born not in truth,
But in treason.

From BBC’s royal scripts,

To NBC’s polished...

Which is the easiest way to make two
Indian states to fight?
One is to throw power, language, water-
Issues on their face.

So you’ll have got two Dravid states

Reminders of Venice, mnemonic of undying love of Romeo and Juliet,
Were masks a barrier for two lovers, when encountered each other? 
Elaborate masks concealed the identities, 
Without hindrance, love bloomed no matter.

You were 
neither a destroyer
nor a preserver 
like Shelley’s west wind.
You were
a native signal
to harvest the taro and tapioca.
You were
a swing for the shore, 
and my soul too.

You weren’t
