// leaf //
When rain splutteredover the polyethene roof
stretching her little palm
She
held an aluminum plate
to collect some rain.
wetted her nudity
she
watered her hands
in spite her mother’s continuous chug
She
Played, sprayed and drenched
Emptied her plate
wetted the rain.
.
yet she was thirsty
even after the rain
She nodded
She danced
Along the tapping
Along the tapping
Along the tapered off rain.
Still the leaf was dripping.
