ECHO
Nobody hears
the vacuum
mourning peace:
echo haunts my soul
like leafless trees
raising grief
to sick air

with fresh catch on their head

an island

down the terrace the course

the moon falls into pieces
down my sons cheeks

in a feminists meet
and turns a sook

heteropromiscuity
searching for frolic
as another shield

rituals of work and sleep

he stands at
the dusted railing to watch
the planes roar & take off

Theres little to sustain the past
looking beautiful each day

the frisson of union

behind the boulders
on sea beach

Little candles fail
to illumine the deity
or golden dome
in the valley darkness reigns
and god too awaits light

DIRECTION
nights prisoned friends
keep me awake with planes
flying over the ashram
every now and then I watch
the direction matters

SCARED
slung-jawed awake
two grinning skeletons sit
bolt upright in bed
hear the shrieks next door but
too scared to call the police

My bones have holes for eyes
I search my teeth in the muck
leeches have sucked my blood:
wheres the lout who ate my flesh?

unmown grasses
make me aware
of the emptiness
the dusk in her room sounds
she searches out
her shadow in
the rising moon
I feel seasons prick

The blank space between words
is the burnt skin of time
I couldnt paint:
they stole the colors
& brush of the eyes
45.
WIND
I lost my sleep
over a thought I could not
make my own:
the suns antidote changed
the voice of the wind

Time is running out
cracks in walls develop fast
but I stay static
shrouded in cobweb
as if in dusk denying death
brooding slipped chances

POETS
Watching the moon
in the western horizon
two haiku poets
scratch each others back and mock
the rest as neophytes

OVERLOAD
Goes awry
the electrical circuit
in the brain cells
in my drugged sleep
I utter expletives
unmindful of
the victims:
I cant help my sensory
overload
49.
NUDITY
The wind lifts
her curved nudity hidden
in water curtain:
I touch the strings that whisper
love in each falling drop

TOO FAR
Each death has a passage
to surprise the dead
awareness matters
no solace the cows tail
in the rivers midst
heaven far, too far
51.
DUSTY COLONIES
Dusty colonies
recount in grammar of cough
new tales of hazards
near open cast pits
they move with graves on shoulders
mark my white shirt black

The naked tree
seems to sway
in hope of
green waves
spring promises:
here am I
prostituting smile
in mirror
despite change
in seasons eye

SHADOW
raising the glass
to invite the lone moon:
silent shadow
suffer the falling leaves
yellowed with autumn

She props the stooping lemons
with stake but avoids
bending close to me:
I die to draw the blossom
in my twining arms
but she likes the other scent

the vacuum
mourning peace:
echo haunts my soul
like leafless trees
raising grief
to sick air

with riddles only
fools himself & prides
in snares of deceits

Layers of dust thicken
on the mirror water makes
the smuts prominent:

I hear sounds
of cracked mirrors
& torn veils

Im fed up playing
life across the net
shuttling nightmare in cold

moonlight lingers
on mango boughs like the fruit
sweet yellow sun
in my courtyard
cool shade travels with thin cloud
I see love dance

Memory fades
like her body
in dim light
I bury my head
in open hands
to escape noises

standing at the edge
I long to float with waves &
wave with instant wind
on the dream waters breast
I read tomorrows wonder:
the secret of waking

the mirror swallowed
my footprints on the shore
I couldnt blame the waves
the geese kept flying over the head
the shadows kept moving afar

ISLAND
at the river
she folds her arms and legs
resting her head
upon her knees and sits
as an island

as he waves his khaddar arms
with fake smile

the rose still stands erect
in the nights silence
i imagine my teens
the street is lonely
& love-ache ever fresh
with stolen fragrance

he meditates
and sees visions of Buddha

the hands raised in vajrasan

Ripples of darkness
tear the river
flowing within
I hear shrieks
of shadow amid
savage hails

background folk music
in Weston Park

the mortal shell
one by one

the body burns
the ashes of silence
float on the holy breast
tears pollute

Taken out of me
the bone of my bones
I grow into her and be
each night discard the covers
seeking each other

a worshipper offers food:

a dark fishing spider
mates in the creek

in one-shot deal

BEER
In perfect accent
they discuss finance and

smell stale beer

a drop of water lands
on her breast:

before her pelvic flick

my thinning hairs
wave in the bath tub
clog the drain
with soap bubbles deride
my baldness

lying under the same blanket

with glee to each other

she lies a rejected shroud
and he mounts up
with mind between the thighs
multiplying pain at night

PASSION
I love her undress
the light with eyes that spring
passion with kisses
she leaves her name again
for my breath to pass through
92.
93.
awake
alone on the house top
a sparrow
a fish tail
dried up in river mud:
burning smell
sun rise
without newspapers:
post-chhat rest
counting sand
between the toes
my daughter at sea
her name
written on the sand:
a wave breaks
my hairs in air
reveal the baldness:
wank without wad
slowly rising
from the clouds edges
autumn sun
a sleeping snake
curled between the eggs
layers of leaves
lying listless
on withered creeper
a golden bird
a drop embedded
in the half-opened bud
winter morning
drifting
in the nights silence
noons shadow
the sky
without a shadow
on the earth
potholes:
spots of sunshine
wobble
cloning miracles
with the nights discharge
in condoms
fallen mangoes
after the midnight storm
morning drizzles
stars twinkling
the beetles path
from manure
swollen fog
ready to make way
for the sun
wrapped in fog
the flying plane
seen by sound
standing behind
the window bars observes
shapes in fog
foam-maned waves
rise in the minds hush:
sinking dome
her face
reflecting light
a mirror
a vague smile
in moonless cave:
tempting silence
a load of wood
on her frail back
autumn evening
musky perfume
open unsleeping eyes
drowsy sweetness
sparrows couple
on a withered creeper
peep of day
taking a nap
on oranges in his shop
a fruit vendor
a yellow spider
crouching in a corner
invisible webs
moving shadows
on the door curtain:
sinking sun
virtual flirting
untamed straggly bushes
dystopia
virtual flirting
untamed straggly bushes
dystopia
her veil
hides the face
love too
in silence
one with the divine will
growing within
a quiet turning in
to partake of her silence:
roaring ocean
evening sky:
a pale moon behind
listless trees
rises drowsily
after a sleepless night
a sick sun
