Madhuri Pillai
breathing sunshine the cat on the fence if only... he turns away from the window and licks his paw
pallid sky in winter hues on the barren tree belting out the blues the magpie songstress
the dog walker under her frayed hat her cherry lipstick the random cafe poet we cheer on saturday nights
solitude in the amber glow of the lamp only the muted taps on the IPad as the poem unfurls
saturday night sneaking in from over the fence the strains of a song tripping down the memory lane recapturing a faded youth
