VASTU VIHAR

sweltering heat
frequent power failure:
neighbours shouting
westerly wind
strikes the windowpane with rain--
flood in bedroom
under the bed
spiders' network--
sabbatical
air too heavy
with fine coal dust from chimneys--
the park too chokes
undecided
to walk or not to walk--
evening black with dust
the aged earth mocks
the concaving patch
of the sky
a dead tree
stands tall on N H 2--
senescence
fully filled
the trashcan in kitchen:
stuck in lack
a short drizzle
stony scent of petrichor--
Vastu Vihar

 --R.K. SINGH
