Pipal ki Chhaon me
pipal ki chhaon me
chhota sa hi sahi
ghar ho apna
aur aashaayen naache
baansuri bajaate bajaate
sheltered by a spreading pipal tree
let my home even if small
be filled with little hopes
which dance to my tuneful flute

Summer Languor
An old, faded negative, probably one of the first times I used colour film. Seeing it made me feel the burning sun, the delight of sitting in the shade of a tree, perhaps during vacation time, with nothing much to do.

The Silence of Stone
(1981)
the silence of a building
whose inhabitants,
unfathomable to the present,
and to whom it was a fitting
and familiar backdrop,
are long dead
it doesn't miss them.
it has withdrawn into
the dim, slow life
of stone
the birds that rest
in its cool crannies
then flutter back to the adjacent trees'
rustling brightness,
and the mice, the insects
the other, smallest creatures
are the only ones
that can know it now
even unto its darkest, most intimate crevices
after the tourists leave

Black Hole, the Devourer
a nova rushing towards a black hole
to disappear forever
