Silent Summer

An overwhelming stillness
Trees frozen in motion
Leaves suspended in Mid Flutter
The city clogs up
In sweat, traffic and sloth
The scratchy heckle of crows and vendors
Lack Lustre and belief in their purpose
Sinews postpone action .
Waiting
for a
Monsoon Sky, A Heart Wrenching Smile, the frying splutter in the kitchen.
The honey twisted voice of Norah Jones..., a visit of welcome news.
Little Life Bytes.. A Sound . a murmur, a touch,
Anything
To Break the silence
Of this overwhelming stillness
An unexpected summer day in February
With it's shimmering asphalt road
