monsoon cloud
a herd of water buffalo
wades into the pond
sanjay chakravarati
only their eyes...
buffaloes swim through
the rain swollen river
angelee deodhar
morning peace
vanishes with the arrival
of my newspaper
vishnu kapoor
vishnu kapoor
vacations end
my small black notebook
brings home the mountain
raju samal
blurry sonograph...
she is insecure
even in the womb
reshma jain
i gather
one moon after
another
into my hands
the river keeps giving
r k singh
night walk
i slow down
near the jasmine bush
johannes manjrekar
sudden rain—
umbrellas mushroom
on the street
gautam nadkarni
high noon—
by the car a girl stand
on her shadow
kalpana r j
the crow
sweeps in like an eagle
i discover
i do things
like my mother
kala
emptying my bag
the pebble makes me
think of the hill again
k ramesh
country drive—
the one-legged scarecrow
heckled by sparrows

change
saturday evening, tried and hungry, I'm eating a puff at
the roadside tea stall. A young boy comes up to beg, his
younger sister in row. one or two rupees, he says. His sister
says nothing, merely stares at me wide-eyed.
i have no loose change. Before I can tell the boy so, he pats
the pocket of his ragged shorts. I have change, he says half
proudly, half smiling.
I can change you a tenner, even fifteen rupees.
evening moon
i wipe my glasses
all over again
johannes manjrekar
sharing an umbrella
your wet left shoulder
my right one
angelee deodhar
a light breeze
the moon in the birdbath
shivers
angelee deodhar
