Seasonal chores
damsel’s wood reaps
the twilight glow.

A woman in the slum
watching the moon’s halo
bursts into laughter.

Morning hobnob
larks on thatched roof chirping
beyond castle.

Harvesting maids
walking with grain sacks
through swerving hills.

Nursery wards
the babies and dolls
all holy sermons.

Intoxicated:
the caravan men sing songs
echoing with woods.

The flirt moon
bidding adieu to the wind
sighing and chill.
