failed haiku, 2024


self-healing


The yellow and brown leaves of chinar settle in on the windowsill like a jigsaw puzzle that needs to be solved. They are dead, useless, and soundless until the autumn breeze tickles them to fall on the ground, get mixed with soil, and nourish the tree they were once  part of. I am trying to solve the jigsaw puzzle of my life where certain regrets fall on the windowsill of my conscious mind, and I am waiting for the wind of understanding to tickle them, make them fall, so that they can mix with the soil of peace, and nourish my soul.
