Highway Trees

They group communalized Like a panchayat counselling Gapped irregular Mango, coconut, plantain trees Like timeless sentinels High-stumped palmyra trees watchful sparsely whilst fronded palms Fanning to the highway-heaven Territoried etching karuvelam(Acacia arabica) There and there from side slopes Often punishing dirtying feet Whilst swinging banyan monkeys Dancing to the whirring breeze Templed at the trunks yellowy Mewling little neem cradles Holy threaded to augural shade Whilst projected long pipal Preaching the highway'beware, beware' Numbered tamarind acidified Boxed by vehicle-d souls heavily In wider space spirited yet there on Whilst withered trees nameless some Branching to evince danseuse's elegance
