Haiku - 39

beginning of spring –
a heifer in the hut
licks her newborn

infant crushes
a purpulish neem leaf to drop
inside her mouth

infant tastes
an ice cream ... in a moment
lingering summer

autumn drizzle...
my mother slowly
whispers her last wish

winter's end
a laid cow turns to
see herself calving
