mango blossoms:
sprawling at every turn
childhood memories
—Kala Ramesh
In India --
mango blossoms – early spring
About the author: Kala Ramesh is a performing vocalist in Indian Classical music. Coming from an extremely artistic and culturally rich South Indian family, Kala believes -- as her father is fond of saying -- that "the soil has to be fertile for the plant to bloom" and feels that she owes this poetic streak in her to her mother. A proud mother of two young adults, Kala lives with her husband in Pune, India.
On the roof of a turn
some flowers knock at the sky gate-
spring afternoon
persian apple
from the double-flower
winged pollen, pink in colour
