DIVALI

 

Divali

street parade

roti and rum

steel drums wrestle table

light shining on us all

 

 

eternal buzzing

the lullaby of crickets

singing in the night

 

carnage like Beirut

sunrise is still far away--

a desolate walk


 

 

 

editor’s note:  Divali is an example of unrhymed fiverse , a form devised by Bangladeshi poet Md.  Ziaul Hague
