Of Feeders and Cleaners

Grazing upon my hide,
lumbering,
ravenous beasts
farm,
crop, and munch upon
the harvest rich-fields
of my squamous integrum.

The dermatologist tells me not to worry,
that it’s just the normal microscopic
fauna and flora.
They clean away the dead,
vacuuming-up

“We are not snakes” he says,

tank-shaped organisms
forever thriving,
feasting,

Schools not open
Because of the dhrammed flu.

Cleaners

To have all the money in the world
That was dropped onto the ground
Every day, would uniform richness
But that isn't the way it is

To every place trampled 
There it goes
A poor, poor presence
Trying to have it all
Out of gas for everything 
Lucidly latched onto a hopeful head

Drops of Heart Cleaners

We use strong detergent 
To remove adamant strain 
And make cloths look like new 
But soft tears we shed 
To clean the dirt 
Accumulated for long 
Inside our heart 
To look forward fresh with a new view .
