POETRY

The Storm

Painting by LA-based artist, Nirmal Kishore

Today, on the lake a glint, like gray steel
Leaves in yellow huddle and whisper of now and then

Slanting rain starts to fall
Easy and light

The branches wave accusing fingers
at the rust brown train sliding past

And the road dips
like a plunge of heart.
