invisible bird-music

emanates midday light ~ wild

street sounds wade in ~

hazy sky blooms light

leaves sway melody-scents

breeze spreads abandon ~

crow flies in purposely

the mortar churns into action

light unfolds time on wall ~

a bee enters

a crow flies a shadow

white butterfly ecstatic

tingling squirrel songs

crow caws in anticipation

pigeons glide into Shoonya ~

butterfly traces airy-way

engine-noise blasphemies word

luminous squirrel delights ~

sun glitters on rooftop

plantain leaves weep mystery-joy

autoricksha adamant in motion ~

myriad horns fuse agony

saffron sari flutters silences

ancient pigeons come go ~

dragonfly leads eye

girl’s voice rhymes butterflies

cadent beyond vision ~

crow’s shadow passes ~

no crow ~ metallic music gleams ~

a distant bus starts ~

unseen crow caws

unseen horn blazes

young boy in blue cap ~

coconuts hum light

mystic shadows dance hover on

pure breeze rhythms ~

woman’s oiled head

floats over moss-green wall

butterfly chases head ~

little suns glow on leaves

cool breeze unfolds warm silences

primal-light pierces Being ~
