An old man in a Nehru jacket
A dog and his yellow collar
A farmhand with her sleeping baby
A cricket, deaf and mute
A tractor without torque
A tree without its favourite lark
A toe ring without its feet
A wrist without its bracelet
A house without its master
Things beautiful and terrible
Tragic and joyful
Seen and unseen
with eyes and with my hands
stand the test of time
approval of the falling sands
an old farmhouse, and its many inhabitants.
