Anniversary
while spreading a nocturne
on your body,
i was stunned :
a cobra stands up !
between us, the storm and fury of a
burst dam was released; i start playing
with the words irreverently:
spiders in the glass jar
staring with big brown eyes, the pubic
hurts, sex and money toast the world on music mania,
engaged in raw deals, assaulting the virgin
art, in nuclear race, mentors shift the legs,
sinner’s statement, was it, it a road show –
a rogue’s dilemma,
there was not enough blood in the veins
of brown skin to stain the temple’s floor,
death will wait, first the public hanging
should begin, sails whisper to the winds,
last survivor of the holy craft
was dead
