This is
the city and my work
at this space.
This is the
city in the December
Morn,
Where the creeping
dark still haunts
dawn,
Birds cosy, self-willed, in their nests,
Hot water , old fashioned boiler ,still
In ancient roofs, copper shines,
Granma’s sentiment and ancestral
lineage
Works, still occupies a space,
Cattle and cow
graze , slow ,
Proceed to Steady
pace,
Some still in
bed, yawn ,
With s sturdy
blanket to
Cover their face, craving more
time .
This is the
city in the December
Morn,
I move
on the personal
computers,
Records the slow whispering
dawn
and the crows
and song birds
start their free play in the
falling clusters cleaving
popping
feathers and bones.
This is the
city in the
December Morn,
Temple priests agile
with Vedic hymns,
And the church
bells chime in
Repeated tunes
and chores.
Ardent devotees
in queue
to collect offerings
in
sweet puddings
and food packets.
This is the
city in the December Morn,
Where vessels jingle
in busy
House hold , the housemaids,
Housewives rivet their
bangles
and hands to
edge their toils,
This is the
city in December
Morn.
