Seeping through....

Seeping through the leaves,

and the jumbled fragrance of  rose apple tree

a slice of sunlight dwindled

to escape as a mishmash of colours

at the far end of the

courtyard , whimpering to wail

whilst slipping on to the brass urli,

falling on to the blue water lily

lying leisurely , fumbling to forget 

the tight clasp of brown mud

that she left behind on the gullible , green water

bouncing off it, the light tumbled down bit farther

on to the shadow with 

black hair bursting out of grey roots

longing to go dowdy. to cup the face..

uncouth, invisible

till the dark circles jumped,

cut the light into pieces, like a prism 

only not sparkling rays,

but fistful of  salt and rock

pooled around it....

 crinkled, cracked then vanished

through the travails of a muffled stain
