Circles

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Who were those characters with dated looks and an outdated fashion sense? Their feet with toes turned backwards tell me who they are. I politely request that they return to their graves.

I wake up in a different era. Mornings are challenging with many tasks to execute before 9 am. It’s not the time to get philosophical. I look at my toes pointed north and get on with my routine. This is real life.

I opened the messaging app with my first sip of coffee and saw a message from my cousin. She has been blessed with a granddaughter who bears an uncanny resemblance to our grandmother. They have decided to give her a name with some letters borrowed from Grandma’s name.

I am the axis
earth spins around a fireball
time moves in circles

digital clocks sneer
at moon-faced tellers of time
repeat the same hours

Haibun Monday – Let’s travel through time
