Bird

Photo of autumn leaves on a branch, with the tree’s branches coming in from the left side of the photo.

Tiny, red, bird-like;
migrating for the winter:
leaves flying off trees.

Dry

Photo of the Cauveri river in Trichy with spots of water. As seen through the window of a bus.

Lifeblood running out—
the river as dry as bone;
hypoxic city.

Merge

Photo of the summer sunset as seen from between trees.

Merging into one,
the many shades of orange—
summertime sunset.

Alive

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon.

Blues, pinks, oranges—
summertime sunset colours,
living canvas, sky.

Preoccupied

We consider life
gazing deep into our phones
while Santa dances
