Even standing still, the sycamore
still shelters its umbra
from the sun, like an umbrella
from the rain, without fail.

Despite this town's closeness to Poland and Germany in space and time,
the red of its soil reminds me neither of spilt blood nor of labor's rust, but
rather of fresh slivers of carrots that mom would grate for gajar halwa on just such a rainy day.
