Crows
i.
I come from nowhere,
and I have nowhere to go,
I tell the crow perched
on a low neem branch
beyond the Periyar River.
He agrees.
He and I are free.
We speak the same language.
You know who I...

Just a Walk Away
Inside worn and weathered walls,
Nobles and commoners
Gather and share
In the field of rosiness.
Together, they are
Composed, well organized.
Each one partaking in blind optimism.
Knowing truly, that
The odds prevail.
Uneasy
My eyes penetrate
The bleached and waxen folds
Of my buttoned-up,...

Breaking Through
I drifted to this place
When might I drift away?
Am lost in time and space
Cold feet encased in clay
Afraid. I am offbeat
Next year I will as well
Shamefully repeat
Tucked inside my shell
Are false masks better...

Ballad of a Hermit Crab
Endless curse, my love for you
A dirty life, my ritual of solitude
Quiet days and empty nights
Foggy mornings and everything that comes with lack of sleep
And silence abound
My lover, the ground
Shaking off the morning shakes
Pop a...

Romance Is Dead
Make me smile and feel as if I am the only one.
Turn around and leave me bitter and forsaken.
Hold me close and kiss my lips, make me feel falsely safe.
Run to her, with...

The Creole Soul Hot Jazz
Slow drawn, steeping tea bags, in an etched glass pitcher,
Lazily infuse its Oriental musk into the sun warmed brew.
My ice crackles along with the thunder over the great Mississippi
As the ewers’ spout releases the...

Undercover Operation
He chafes the prayer beads against his wrist
Has died lesser deaths of exasperated rage
It’s not forgiveness he seeks but purifying anger
To feel the rawness of emotion he focusses
On undefeatable loss and zealous slaughter
Of cross fires...

And I am now to be contented and go to sleep
In your global village
Am I to believe your village can raise my child
Better than the old one
Where mortars pestle corn
And white cassava flour inthe sun

Letter To Kenyan Voter
I quit
I throw my hands down
and sit, sometimes
they called for reconciliation without
justice
They called for justice without
truth
Now they ask for prayer without
confession, umpteenth,
it chafes
Has dishonesty made you inadequate
to let go the...

This Bitter Wave
As blue waters of March quiver a chime,
Near the paling ledge of Triste's harbor
Where so many stars flicker, quite sublime
On fallen crest…it hurts a whole lot more.
Near the paling ledge of...

Malignant Clouds
Clouds loom drifting, passing by,
The west wind gently tempts them on
Though no one knows what cause them cry
And no one hears their pleading voice
As all their acid tears well dry.
Snowy white, in rank and file,

Whatever tickles your pickle

Whatever pops your cork
Whatever pets your monkey
Whatever frosts your cookies
Whatever spills your pills
Whatever trips your trigger
Whatever humps your camel

Naked In the Moon
Naked in the moon
My heart throbs
For canters of wine
On lips of passion
Am I a lover too?
It is the old delusion
Poets drunken with words
Muting love's confession
To the coldness
Of the winds
Her white skin
The alabaster of my dreams

The Aftermath
Meaning is over there,
beyond the burnt paddocks
and blackened hills,
the crumpled, flattened ruins
of houses. It is further out
than that nothingness glazed
upon the distances
of a vacant stare.
A powdery dust now coates
the walls of a terrible...

How Do We Continue
How do we continue?
When etched indelibly upon our being,
are the scars from love that has been abandoned.
When the loss chafes the heart?
With cold iron hands that leave us raw,

Spinning Shadow
I slowly tread the prickle-cold mat of grass
And savor the mud that squishes between my toes
The darkening night smells musky here, and damp,
And not just because there is a pond. The moisture’s in the
Air, wrapping...

Each New Person Is a Gift
Each new person is a gift
Some wrapped in shiny foil paper
Tidied up with ribbons and bows
Others trussed inside brown paper
Restricted by an extra tight string
That chafes them, tearing into their souls
The challenge is easy.

Autumn Is Necessary
Missing the luxurious lush green of verdant spring.
When autumn chafes against the soul
Reluctant of letting go all that summer had to offer
We do not proffer from resentment
Find, we may contentment with the season immediately...

Melanie was waiting for the light to change
