Impressions of Malwa-Scapes

Dusty horizons - sundust piled in heaps and bales in harvested fields, against a giant, pale, wheat sun.

Dark trees in Ikebana arise from pale flat lands.

Fields of ripening grain - tender stalks, a dark boy runs and dives in - shoulder deep.

Coffee dark soil, light straw, clumps of mango trees in frothy green blossoms.

Palash flames torch the land in deepest orange.

Searing heat rising from a black ribbon road in wet ripples.

Stars swathed nights - spent under-cover, hiding from mosquitoes.
