Sour fruit,bitter flowers

Now on the other green bench, I have the fallen pipal leaves at my feet . All night they would have fallen to the wind.

There is spring in waiting . A festival is on of the bitter sweet neem leaves and the new tartaric fruit , that was often the subject of our childhood  stone attack. The fruit is a direct  outcome of tiny blouse flowers that tasted sour and sweet. The tangy fruit on  tongue twisted a child’s face.
