A Rainy Moment

Village...
musty...
like a mossy mushroom under a banyan...
rain-lashed...
semi-shaded days...
washed greenery greedily sprouting forth...
a love-lorn peacock dancing...
a bee-eater diving for its success and the insect's failure...
swallows riding the airy horses...
a tailor bird throwing loud vocal force for its 7 gram weight...
squirrel and crow fighting for a nut...
a mud-smeared dog losing the force of its barking against a braying donkey...
paddy standing lugubriously...
and the water hanging above,
ready to melt and shower its love again, 
any moment...
