Seasons
Spring ~ kalboishakhi storms nature is full of stories but between us – still only silence Autumn ~ cut me a thick slice of this wet evening sky to save in a heart shaped vial it will never be this beautiful again Summer ~ you came like tropical summer sudden, hot, insistent peeling winter off my skin like a well worn blouse stay – summers where I come from, last long
