a fraction of infinity

in a bunch

a fraction of the skin

of yellow bananas

turns speckling brown spots

ripening in haste,

multiplying in shades

darkening over the days in platter


as freckles on my cheeks

(visible patterns)


tiny as spiralling dots

(not as wild as sunflower seeds)


as crow's feet & wrinkles under my eyes

(growing webbed lines, creased by wind-)


burn under summer sun

(infinity plays in my mind)

Thanks for your comments and visits.
