Ode to Peach Fuzz

O Guardians of my sinned sin!
Like a permanent tattoo of rain,
you have streaked boundaries on my face...........

The Pulse Fritters

I combine the cooked green gram

and shreds of coconut

in hot syrup of jaggery to form small pulse balls.

They blend easily, uniformly,

reminding me, the way we were made to eat pills,

by dissolving in flavored syrups –

strawberry or honey or sugar
