Leaves in the full moon
Were a translucent curtain
On a mayna's wedding night.
-----
Dark dangerous pools
Will swirl in her shadowed eyes
Look away or fall.
-----
The clothes need washing
But arms are too heavy to
Carry any more.
-----
Water trickles down
They have been trying for years
To wash blood off hands.
-----
Light falls on opened
Books whose pages have darkened
Like an old man's wit.
-----
Maybe you should go now
I can't bear your hand on mine
Fire burns fire.
-----
The fire burns brightly
Children will touch the embers
Don't be late tonight.
-----
Her expression changed
As she clutched her phone tightly
Zero battery.

Isn't it the worst
When after a hot shower
Your slipper are wet?
----
No one ever knew
When they met for the first time
It was beautiful.
