a rainbow
within a rainbow ~
God only can do that

a giant rainbow...
bending down with the load
of sky

fog in the valley~
trees and mountains recede
then vanish

lost in the fog ~
an old man in the street
chanting 'Ram, Ram'.

rushing to the roof
children greet the rainbow~
shouts and smiles

summer picnic~
kids get their hands scratched
hunting wild berries

the sun-god at last
felling fog with his arrows -
trees and hills appear.

the dawn's draped in fog,
the pheasant forgets to sing~
where are you, O sun?

The Brahmaputra-Guwahati

an early monsoon morning:
ferries begin to ply their day on the brahmaputra
four white egrets shoot across to the greens beyond
a clever mynah excuses herself to perch on a ferry
twigs of anonymous trees -
like promises rudely broken -
are carried away by swollen waters
while grey clouds gently take wings
to reveal the forehead of the distant hills

i suddenly uncoil myself
to walk -
the stinking alleys once again

(Written on 16th July,2008, at Guwahati.)
