Lakshmi Iyer

abandoned tuk-tuk

both dog and the beggar 

part with their space

—Lakshmi Iyer

outgrown weeds

a small forest

from nowhere

—Lakshmi Iyer

the crows keep

straightening their feathers

heavy rains

—Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

post surgery

recoupling everything

from start to end

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

first strawberry pick

a swoosh of red

dawns

Lakshmi Iyer

post surgery

moon lights

the padded lingerie

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

waning moon

mother's moods

steady and stable

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

year end

so many things left

unpacked

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

Christmas Eve

the moon comes riding

on a reindeer

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

for one last chance I gather up my soul

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

night light slips

into my milkshake

vanilla moon

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

dicey moon

the way she likes

to show herself

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

pergola

moonlight finds a place

to rest

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

moon shapes

the way mother wants

me to cut fruits


Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

between the clouds

she hides and seeks

my companion

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

paddling the stars

in the dark sky

I dream

of heaven beyond

my reach

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

atop the houseboat

the fisherman's moon

half-drunk

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

after the rain

moon in my well

safe and sound


Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

lightning

strikes the sky

the zigzagged moon

Lakshmi Iyer

Lakshmi Iyer

the full moon

in the lioness' roar

cold night

Lakshmi Iyer
