Yesterday’s News

Spring has arrived in Delhi
as the Supreme Court
scolds SBI again
and India Today 
live streams the PM–
later, on the edge of the city
police tend gardens 
of cement and spikes,   
and the rich gaze 
out their windows
at razor wire glinting
in moonlight– 
these days even the tops 
of small colony walls 
are sprouting rows
of broken glass:
like a slim beds 
of thorny wildflowers,
or rows of broken glass.
