Summer in India

source

Mango aroma and green flies

Sweltering summer’s thawing smiles

Liquid fire flowing through kyles

We slowly melt as winter dies

 

Nightly fragrance of white bloom flies

Riding the crest of wind for miles

Mango aroma and green flies

Sweltering summer’s thawing smiles


 Disgruntled humans supine lie

Prickly heat’s torture making all rile

Poor sun turns up as the most vile

The loo’s* made of sapiens’ sigh

Liquid fire flowing through kyles

We slowly melt as winter dies

 

 

* The Loo (Hindi: लू, Urdu: لو, Punjabi: ਲੂ) is a strong, hot and dry summer afternoon wind from the west which blows over the western Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan.[1] It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115°F-120°F), exposure to it often leads to fatal heatstrokes. Source: Wikipedia
