By Kala Ramesh:
- notes trickle . . .
- mountain trek . . .
- I am . . .
- thunderclap — . . .
- an eagle shadows a wheat field’s yellow whis . . .
- monsoons begin with each day's rains . . .
- the darkness of my skin . . .
- The Look . . .
- blossoms . . . . . .
- . . .
- . . .
- . . .
- midnight jetty . . .
- an evening . . .
- Gita chanting — . . .
- male gaze the female in me squares up her arms . . .
- twilight trees . . .
- liquid sky . . . . . .
- ceiling mirror . . .
- white water rafting . . .
- slipping in . . .
- painting class . . .
- dense fog . . .
- the wind howling horizon on a wave . . .
