CROWS

Two crows, in sheet-rain...
One, a joyous welcome,
dancing delight,
seeking highest perch.
Tallest Gulmohar, a ship
buffetted in storm.
My persistent acrobat,
daring twig strength.

The other, a wet rag,
cling-wrapping
my window, dripping
runny-ink-misery,
my morning damper...

Another day begins,
with God-given choices,
of where I opt,
to fix my gaze.
