Tearful Skies

A picture taken by a blogger friend Sujatha , through what she calls the "moonroof" of her car, on a starlit/moonlight winter night possibly somewhere in Washington DC.

And , then again, one is, not surprised by the teardrops on the glass roof....

Sky Akka***,
presiding
turn by turn
across
flooded countries,
killing fields,
drunk dictators,
cheating politicians,
uncontrolled guns,
starving populaces,
molested children,
rampant pirates,
embarassing Leaks,
can't hold
her emotions
any longer....


She shakes
away
her clouded eyes
with a slight
disgusted rumble,
despairs
of the
greenless trees below,
and
weeps
drop by drop,
sometimes copiously,
and sometimes pausing
for a blue breath,
at the bareness of it all......
