first day

after being laid off

alone

and awake to the silence

of falling leaves

rusty red

the colour of my heart

         thirsty leaves...

cries for monsoon

I glance back

at her window light

after I leave

cold wind

strikes my face

a little boy

waves goodbye

to the whistling train...

Mum's tears

soak her mask

*

 

snowflakes

dance through the air

before a lightpost

an old monk

whispers his prayer
