Six Modern Haiku by Daipayan Nair

after rain —
the lady arranges
her fruit cart
□
slum sunset —
she adds her pitcher 
to the queue
□ 
harvest drumbeat —
the worker grabs another 
sunflower head
□ 
cornfield stretch —
each tractor carries 
a cloud
□
receding waters —
a bullfrog jumps onto 
the driver's seat
□
slice of sunrise —
the cart puller wipes 
the next spoke
□
