Aparna Pathak: Text
standing
with paper banners
about global warming
kids grow
betwixt learning and unlearning
moonlight
through the blinds
of an eerie house . . .
in the basket, a potato
with a growing eye
a sudden tinkle
in the wind chimes
I tell her
yet another time
all will be fine
swishing
the mouthwashÂ
this morning
the bamboo at the window
slightly taller
melting snow
down the peaks . . .
father peeps
into our study
with half shaved face
