still wishing—
the shiny things
in
a dried up well

embroidered birds
on her pillow
flying

election night
even the Halloween ghosts

night by night
how I age
crescent

Biswajit Mishra
my enigma
when I have nothing
to do
I have no time
for
anything

living in the moment
a cloud becomes
rain
Vandana Parashar
wind through a crack
the flowers
arrange
themselves
Vandana Parashar
night bus
every head rolled
to
side
Vandana Parashar
the
world without a word winter woods

ferry crossing
the river water churns
underneath us
I hold tight to the rail
and
your unspoken words
Nalini Shetty
saffron robes
flutter in the breeze
Ganges twilight
behind you a silhouette
I
can’t reach

distant
thunder —
how we have changed
over the years

I
learn to live
with imperfections
windfall apples
