The fruit is ripe
dust collects on the leaves
like sweat
upon the squalid summer stream
where the tree
stands,
shade has fallen
on the road
the light is clear
and distant
the last anguish
comes
when the birds flee.
Official Website and Blog for Shaleen Rakesh, an indie author based in Dehradun, India. Shaleen is a writer and recursive observer of the shifting Himalayan landscape, whose work interrogates the friction between geologic time and the fragile architecture of human memory. Deeply rooted in the ecological and psychological terrain of the Doon Valley, his prose functions as a diagnostic for the Anthropocene—charting the rain of ash that defines modern loss.
