Diwali lights . . .
exposing the demons
I still haven't slayed / Sameer
inner darkness hidden
we light the façade / max
dusky hands count
cartons of fairness cream
in the factory / raamesh
the touch of cool lips
on my fevered brow / anitha
once again
that unfamiliar
perfume on his shirt / jayashree
this summer night
my dog sniffs for the moon / raamesh
the lean shadow
cast by
a paper wasp's hive / samar
fighting for queenship
of hexagonal cells / raamesh
frosty starlight
drapes the bare branches
of an unknown tree / samar
through the grassland
this kangaroo skips a beat / jayashree
we were together
the last time
the kurinji* bloomed / anitha
alive again
I enjoy the hum of bees / shrikaanth
*the Kurinji blooms in profusion every twelve years
A junicho composed by the members of IN haiku on facebook, started on 3rd November and finished on 26th May 2014.
