A Fool's Errand
Life’s meandering journey … mapped by a fool Clairvoyant foretelling the dilettante’s tool Around every corner the road twists and bends A marble or diamond — but choice to portend (Dreamsleep: February, 2024) ...

The Errand Boy
THE ERRAND BOY I'd love to wake up in an early morn Out just to witness the dew. Even in the sun,I'll prefer plucking a corn. Errandery,oh! It drives all joy away. Even in its minutae ,I'll rather die to face the scorn. Now that the razzmatazz of nature feels like vindaloo. Tossed around like a lost nylon,it gives no time...

An Errand of Condom
Fast asleep, Slumbering in the other world, Spirit at work, The future opened to the spirit, Half dead,half alive, The sweetness of the tongue, The mind at peace, The body ennui, Ears opened wide to the earth, Brain unstable as the hearth, Fastness of the nose breath, Echoes everywhere, Thinking of being alive, But in the spirit world, My name banged in my ears, The body weak to respond. Trying to...

To those who reap where they did not...

An Errand of Mercy
She had a wry little smile, Curling amidst her petite lip, She looked up to the heavens above, Closing her eyes, letting a tear drip. Life isn’t a bed of roses, they said. Why? She could never understand. Even as they suffered, even as they bled, It was n't hard for her to withstand. Men were animals, she was told, Lurking to pounce...
