A fishmonger of old Puducherry
struggled to find a spouse to marry.
It wasn’t what you think-
unless you think it fish stink-
that made the prospective mates wary.

some see a spider,
i see a goateed,
grinning bandit

hatchwork of trees
provides a hunter’s blind
to see the city



so much flower
unpacks from one
tight green bud
