School bells, office lights—
running down the long lane—
aching knees, glasses.

Memory, my friend—
racing across the vast field:
distant fading dust.

— rawjeev

A leaf adrift, light
A poised kite hovering—
lingering… a tug…

— rawjeev

Mother was the sea
Father the far shining stars
Girl was the sailor

—rawjeev

Where are grasshoppers?
Where are the firefly nights?
Where are cricket songs?

— rawjeev

You light my garden
sprinkling shimmers, passing by
still that firefly
