into the night a cuckoo returns the call

—Kala Ramesh

First published in Kokako, annual print edition, September 2007

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.

    I love the way this reverses direction. A great use of the one-line format.
