Debarati’s haiku in DifferentTruths.com blends mist-kissed cafes, lunar eclipses, and healing baths—whispers of twilight heaviness and playful rebirth.
Hill Cafe
sipping mist with
ginger ale tea
twilight —
returning home
my heaviness and me
lunar eclipse —
grandma adds epsom salt to
my bath water
to be or not to be on antidepressants
yellow palash
mixing gulal
with giggles
