Familiar Air

(written in january 2007)

The air is familiar,
Fans on.
Summer setting in
Boards time.

Sky blue,

More clouds,
Same smell- temperature,
Humidity.

Thin layer of
Sweat.
Separation, farewell
Flowers in the Valley.

It may rain in the evenings
Wind tells me now.
I'm tuned to this part of
Earth.

I remember, as a child,
This same air
In Trichy and Mettupalayam
Heat degree varying.
