Outside my window, Dhakuria summer (response to prompt)

Outside my window

a magnolia tree


Like the man who came every summer afternoon

holding strawberry-vanilla two-in-one icecreams.

In the alleys of Dhakuria where cars couldn't enter

The ice-cream man rolled his little cart.

Even refugee children might have liked some magnolia.
