I notice
the adenium you left behind
bursting out in pinks.
such #elation
in the morning tea
steeping
what’s left of you.

A scribble: 😅
I met a tree today. It was 10 times taller than me. 11 times maybe. Its girth was beyond my arms to hug. Its canopy was 12 times my arm span. It belonged to the blah blah species. That’s it. I won’t tell you more because it was rude. It didn’t smile at me. It was a tree. #Oulens

The cuckoo sneaks in
her eggs
in the crow’s nest
while he is off
cracking
a bulbul’s eggshell
I, in my mind, stir
a to-do inventory
of salt-and-peppered
permitted #sins,
over some cheesy
greasy omelette
