Waiting under the Canopy....

One never knows what folks notice on their trips to the hinterland.....

Crunch,
on the
hillock,
chained wheels
ponderously
smashing
rocks to powder,
she moves,
sighting
the enemy,
the long telescopic
sight,
searching.



Sometimes ,
for someone
to blast
in a cloud of
uncertainity....

And sometimes,
to show
signs
of
affirmative action,
now a Valentine,
waiting,
under a canopy,
for
the beloved
man in uniform,
coming up
the slope
with a
can of fuel
for a parched
and
rusted
tired,
peacetime mind
in Ahmednagar...
