spring moon . . .
the scent of jasmine
spreading in the night

winter twilight—
homing mynahs
over my backstroke

monsoon ends
. . . the lake filling into
emptiness

sunrise warms
. . . the waves rolling towards
her cobra pose

twilight spreads
. . . the jasmines petals in
the garlands shop

winter deepens 
. . . lungi shivering on 
the beggar's face
