Srinivasa Rao Sambangi – India (PJ32)

henpecked
so young
by smile lines

poll time
our leader’s play
of puzzle cube

patch up meet
sediments in the soup
let to settle

independence day —
a balloon vendor regains
his breath

caged parrot
my boss seems to like
its talk

election day
my neighbor’s yard
casts shade on mine

bonding camp-out
no one can tune
the guitar

wallpaper layers
stripped back to the rosebud pink
of their first night

coming home
the veins grown dark
on old hands
