morning mist
the iora is gone
before I recall its name

eddying leaves
the old woman's wrinkled face
and saree

traffic jam
three saffron-robed men munch nuts
in their SUV

traffic argument
the camel's sneer
is impartial

with rituals

the woman with silver hair
steps back into the shade

last red in the sky
a small girl's moon face rises
over the counter

hot afternoon
a flirting couple
in the memorial's shade

the plane's landing lights
a wave of barking
sweeps the neighbourhood

orthopaedic clinic
a three-legged chair
outside the entrance

loud pub music
a long silence
between the flirting couple

snow melt --
chewing gum spots appear
on the pavement

Valentine's Day
a red rose
stuck in the snow

night stillness
a new mail
in the inbox

blinding snow
man and dog tracks
run together

cold rain
a bunch of daffodils
against the brick wall

anti-war demo
snowflakes melt
on the horse's backside

fluffed-up sparrows
the air white with snowflakes
above the tar

smoky moon
a cricket's regular chirp
between the traffic noise

muezzin's call
a one-horned cow pushes
at the hotel gate
