Softness of her lips
and dancing of her tongue--
warm wetness

TEA DROPS

Fallen tea drops
reminding of the guests
last evening

AWAITING

At the kitchen door
await a handful of wheat

SUNRISE: A HAIKU SEQUENCE

Sun rising late
slow arrival of winter
feverish warmth

Awaits the sunrise
in the chilly Ganges
a nude worshipper

Sunrise
behind the temple:
cloud's edge

Flowers turn
to the rising sun:
greeting

A dense fog
hides the sunrise--
waning winter

Her day begins
before dawn with the lantern
worshipping lingam

Aged with seasons
now seeks sojourn in the west--
no more sunrise

Welcoming sunrise
dew drops on dry leaves--
an epitaph


--R.K.SINGH
