SUPRIYA KAUR DHALIWAL

                                         SUNSET AT THE RIDGE

                                                            In the vicinity

                                                      of the candy-coloured

                                             Lego houses of Simla, I stand to

                                  savour this scene. The ingredients of the sky,

                         cry, colours of clementine rose, a cocktail of melancholy.

                                                         The air is giddy.

                                              The petals of rose smudge the

                                      setting sun and its backdrop, and I start to

                              walk back in the dark along The Ridge, in a hope to

                        find another version of me, an orange tinted version of me.
