Hand Shadow Artists

On this balmy
September afternoon,
In suburban Mumbai,
Two kids riding pillion,
On a Japanese bike,
Returning home,
Happy and excited,
After a busy day,
In school,
Creating
Shadowy figures of
A surprised rabbit,
Bird in flight,
Boy yawning,
Kangaroo dancing,
Through the clever
Movements of the
Tiny but expert hands,
On the silent street,
Under a kind Sun
Smiling at their
Hand shadow
Kinetic art.
