LEAVES
Daily I witness a rain of leaves
,
dried leaves of a Margosa tree and one tall Ashoka tree
.
one in my house and the other in neighbor's garden
,
on the other side of the compound wall
The sound of leaves getting crushed under my feet
,
as I climb up the steps to reach the terrace
,
is music of a different kind
.
Daily sweeping does get them displaced
and collected
in
a huge pit made just for this purposeIf you stand on that collected heap, nay mound,
you feel as if
you are standing in the beech
and water is sweeping the sand away from under your feet
.
How long will this merriment last
?
For a couple of months, at best?
Everything is ephemeral
like the leaves that dry and die
giving way
to
compost -
some
