HAIKU
1
How gracefully
the cockatoo fans bright plumes—
perched on a dead branch.
2
A silent dove
on a humming electric wire
sings above the crowd.
3
A stray dog sits
atop Kathmandu’s rubbish heap—
eyes lowered in shame.
4
A little child
watches two men fighting—
“Are they massaging?” he smiles.
5
A poor man pauses
before a mansion’s high gates—
“Just another prison.”
6
A hungry man
sees food through a rich man’s window—
his stomach answers.
