Plain Colour

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

 

The sky, bluer
The water, bluer
I am on the veranda. Ra'na is by the pool
She is washing clothes
Leaves are falling
It's a sad season , said Mother this morning
Life is an apple , said , One should bite it unpeeled
The next-door woman is weaving nets at her window
Huming to herself
I am reading the Vedas
Making sketches of rocks , fowls , and clouds
A full sunshine
Starlings are coming
Nasturtiums are blossoming
I crack a pomegranate , thinking to myself 
! If only the seeds of people's hearts could be seen
The pomegranate juice spurts into my eye : my tears flow
Mother bursts into laughter
So does Ra'na
