street corner.

The man was bent on his work, patching cycle tubes in the street corner,

A frown between his eyes and lips tightly pursed

The neem tree over him was in full bloom ,

Yellow flowers lay heaped nearby , brushed by the sweeper,

Their fragrance attracting a bevy of colourful butterflies

Vying for the abundant nectar ,within easy reach,

Henna swayed and sprinkled its flowers and scent from a nearby compound,

If only he was aware , how lucky he was to call that pocket of fragrance ,

In a polluted area his own!
