Some Fallen-Leaves Regarding Longevity 6 - 7

6. 
i am to be blown off on the first bombardment 
then it is to be flown 
in the crowd of  fire-flies 
on the bushes of the scented-lemons 

and it is to see the memory race of the grown-up girls 

it is to see more 
that after the opening of the sluice gates 
one by one  
how the gathering in the hindu hotels 
increases 
by leaps and bounds

the pores of the skin of the body 
whose hoods are open 
and who are running up 
along the spiral route 
that leads to the top of the mountain 

their child 
due to late-marriage 
now only knows 
how to move on all fours 

7.
under the table-glass 
i  unfold the life-chronicle of one lakh year 

and in the olive-cabinet 
all the applications for living

from the monsoon-noon to the winter-afternoon 
the lines you draw on the parchment 

none of them is so condensed 
as to touch the palms of a sailor  

from the numerable timber-joists 
come down the swarms of personal white ants 

no spring seems to become corporeal 
without the spell of misunderstandings  

so of late 
besides the dry statistics 
with the cough 
comes out grey thermometer 

prickly-heats spread over the whole body  

the sticks of young antenna 
shake off their wings 

behind the bath-scene 
lies the succulent hailstorm

8.
there is no lovely add 
yet the market-value of your headache 
is going up day by day 

all the noon send her mad 
the intellectual kisses 
the coos 

or is it the running about of the tennis-ball 

so much pop-corns are flying out 
from the draw-well 

or that sound of foot-steps 
in the north-east 

may be 
that is of some brown horses
or some horse-drawn perambulators 

when the moon spreads out the platinum 
does it judge the recipients 

thus the bin-leaves can ring 
from head to foot 

it unfurls an incorrigible right-angle
in the early-evening 

the troop with armours 
open a shop of condom 
beside the vainglory of the lake
