the window

aunty comes to dump garbage in the bin

no use, it'll overflow soon.

an assortment

of robins, bulbuls, peacocks

blue flycatchers,

basking in the unbearable summer heat,

their best songs

a lovely concert at 5 am.

two girls burn a bunch of papers...

post-exam ritual, this.

the grass resists the numerous attempts to thwart its growth.

a purple sunbird's nest on the tree outside my window

metallic purple,

shining in the oppressive sunshine.

and i draw my curtains,

lime green and transluscent

to comfort me with their light in the room.
