the demon sits there
spewing fire
scowling at me daylong

stains my hand
with colours of sun
and earth

flaunts her curves voluptuously

before I open the jar

shards of rainbow in glass bangles
bunched in a basket -
colours flow into the dark room

gaze on happiness

like splinters of glass in my fingers

yellowed leaves do not fall off
