Inked

A winter sparrow

Picks the grasses uprooted from the ground.

It shall build the nest from the grasses.

Outside in the sunlit wintry morning

Vapour rises from the tea stall on the pavement of the road.

Here by my side on the garden

My child plays with a sticker

In which she shall ink her name later.

She is building her identity

Like the sparrow building the nest of comfort.
