Monsoon Wet

by Sayani Mukherjee
(Chandannagar, West Bengal, India)

Today, it might rain –
Tulle discs clouds gather around the edge
A coffee smudged rain may pour
From somewhere blue
The tip of the grass is monsoon wet.
All sipping through the fair trade of life.
A lonely cat and his silver gaze
The wide long whiskers
Keep falling a raspy shade
Over a long-queued marble floor
That keeps singing a song of
A hibiscus rhythm and lime scented candles
They vapour up
Under the steam slow budding gloom
I have gathered
A china bowl and a spoon-proof care
Today, a chaotic new moon eve may rise up
Then,
Looking at the dormant thighs
Opening up
Creaking open the utopian scale
The iced coffee is coming undone
A cultural iceberg perhaps
Practical dialogic mumblings
That length and size things up
The aura then dips down
Within a ceremony night
After a decade high
There is a twinkle in her eyes
An open, a welcome mat spread open
Wind bells on the front porch straight
That softly treads on her bosom soul
It is a June, a monsoon, a petal rose
All sipping on and off
A coffee crunched tea
With a haiku and a wind chime.
