Parting the curtains,
the woman across the street
spies on her neighbors.

Cans
On a trashy street
a homeless man and Jesus
pick up soda cans.
Moon
A full moon rising
higher than the temple roof
lights up every street.
Poster
Urged on by the wind
an old election poster
tumbles down the street.
Wrapper
After Halloween
an empty candy wrapper
skitters down the street.
Dance
Three barefoot children
dance their way through the rubbish
on a Mumbai street.
Roses
On a fetid street
a boy with three white roses
begs me to buy one.
