Clean-cut Man
This Sunday, I learnt of wing collars, paisley ties and gingham checks. There was more on the length and width of the ties, the fall of the trousers and fashion-tips on cuffs. Cuffs, collars, ties and checks- who ever said man … Continue reading

A nightly sea
She had shades of darkness to wrap around. Her iris glinted blue now and then green again. The pupil was rock-black at night and slate-grey in the day. Me- I was just dust on her cheek, dust she might decide … Continue reading

heat and unhot
The asphalt was acting especially vengeful as if 2 was an hour it wished to send up in vapor, if not smoke. Milk would churn out butter without breaking into a sweat in this weather. I saw evidence a few … Continue reading

Sweat Garden
Typical corporate garden with plants just so, precisely spaced, pink and white flowered, evenly spread. The lawn was green, no patches of brown. So, why did I smell sweaty socks and not surgically fragrant air? The socks were, after all, poking … Continue reading

The Colour Green
A green monster. No, not jealousy. Kinky hair. No, not an ogre. Traces of erstwhile masters circled round her neck. No, not a slave. Blackened nails. No, not tortured, merely lacquered. Chained to the chair. Swiveled comfort, is she not free? A golden collar. No, not a … Continue reading

Buzz-iness Etiquette
24 degrees. No reason to feel cold. No reason to warm up either. To anyone. The discussion was typically dull, without any snazz. Except that he kept winking. What was his point? Since when does one wink one’s views? New … Continue reading

The Bridal Bouquet
It was nice, a green, glowing morning, misty-eyed, shying out of further moonlighting. Peace enveloped me and the sleeping bundle of new skin, softly fleshy, dimpled and doubly delicate, his breath shallow, yet throbbing with life. I leant out, the … Continue reading
