The wonder of water:
It reflects the truth
And sometimes distorts it

A needle passing
From one hand to another:
A fine cloth created
This craftsman in Bangalore (India) is weaving gold thread on to stretched cloth to create elaborate patterns: ‘zari’ work.

Hidden below a seat
Waiting for what?
Feline seeking company?

Arms and the man,
The hunting is over,
Only a dry skull remains

Paws on a shiny bonnet
Leave no marks:
There is but a fine shadow

Face of white stone
Frozen fierc’ly now:
A statue from eastern climes.

Light filters through
the colour’d glass window
for spiritual delight
Window in Farm Street Curch, Mayfair, London

Standing by Stalin,
albeit in bronze:
odd memories evoked
This statue of Stalin, now in Tirana, was cast during Albania’s Communist era (1944-91). Albania was the only country to continue revering Stalin after his death.

A tangled chain of events
linked only by fate
leads always to an end

What is reality ?
What is reflect-ed?
Who will tell me? Can you?
