Sneha Subramanian Kanta
A wet evening in July
Room there was,
enough of it
for thoughts of
brazen tinctures.
The sunset mixed
with rain and all
things had a sleet
of smudged amber,
eagles circled over
a vast rim of gray
and fogged blue.
The looking glass
of my eyes held
his vision near, in
caresses of the sun.
