A haze of steam
allows me
to be discreet
and so like bluish vapour
and pungent sap
I'm everywhere
not even woodsy
or rain-kissed or exotic
I am working sweat
dripping
in dampness to return to you
the drops
in your sweet
soft eyes
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.
