As The Evening Drew To A Close Poem by Kalyani Sreekumar

As The Evening Drew To A Close



When I tried to make sense of my surroundings

Fruit flies dashed at me out of the blue.

A leopard was steadily climbing down a wall

And someone was oiling her mane

As if she had all the time in the world.

A fire had been lit right next to me

But the smoke billowed elsewhere.

Beyond the smoke was a tea shop

Where the leopard had just been

Split among the customers.
