Ravi Kiran

home from work

the language

of a tail

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

retired tenor

the reverb

in his yawn

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

 the many dialects of silent treatment

—Ravi Kiran 

reunion

my long-term memory

is much better

—Ravi Kiran 

turbulence

the airhostess holds on

to her smile

—Ravi Kiran

late night census

some of the sheep

look familiar

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

far from home

the familiar language

of a robin

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

all your flaws

should I instead

count sheep

—Ravi Kiran

miles apart

touch your cheek

for me

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

Mid-west cornfield 

the slow twirl 

of a windmill

—Ravi Kiran

braking reflex 

a crow's shadow 

crosses the road

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

reeds until

they move

heron’s legs

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

blooming

in silence

distant fireworks

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

pastel shades

she stopped using

all those words

—Ravi Kiran

the glow rises

in a child’s eyes

sky lantern

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

spring beach

the many colours

of skin

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

snow on snow

the heaviness

of longing

—Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

candied bacon

the ice cream flavours

she loved

Ravi Kiran

on a leaf

still holding on

first snow

Ravi Kiran

dry riverbed

it’s time to become

strangers again

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

robed in starlight

ghost of the dream

we strangled

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

when and where

to stop

eulogy

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

lighting up

the silence between us

fireflies

Ravi Kiran

Loch Ness

these things below

a calm surface

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

end of the day

a blackbird’s song

from the unpruned hedge

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

night lightning

the restlessness

in the stables

Ravi Kiran

koi pond

no sign that says

no fishing

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

rush hour

the manoeuvrability

of an ambulance

Ravi Kiran

between a beard

and the grey moustache

a few missing teeth

Ravi Kiran

Alzheimer’s

her favourite dress

for the first time

Ravi Kiran

what are the odds

of meeting you again

shooting star

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

first cruise

the destination

doesn’t matter

Ravi Kiran

 

deep within

the shifting sands

camel tracks

Ravi Kiran

 

sometimes in sync

the legs

of flamingos

Ravi Kiran

Ravi Kiran

turbulence

the art of balancing

black coffee

Ravi Kiran

a second look

at the first impression

red mushroom
