Rani Pink

By Carol D’Souza

RANI PINK

Oh Lord, trees. How they dress and undress
unhurriedly through geological time!
This one I pass on my way to tea
is presently putting on a blush
of rani pink that stands out so
jauntily against the clear blue
drape of the April sky in Chennai.
Oh, how the colour becomes it!
I stop dead in my tracks every time,
staring anew. Life in hues. So old. So new.

Carol D’Souza lives in Chennai.
