Long Neem Poems

Coffee or tea?

Well he growled,
He snarled,
The sole paw pilot pivoting,
How interesting was it to note though that the frogs although...

I come from nowhere,
and I have nowhere to go,
I tell the crow perched 
on a low neem branch

We speak the same language.

You know who I...

From February’s fold chill when escaped, 
In March, when all ready to welcome spring,

on to the railway platform
A hot wave of salty moist air 
drenches me
On my customary visit
to this city I'm tethered to
by my memories..
She coyly calls herself Chennai
like a new bride...

But I only bear tales of 
The Montane and the...

Door arrives door disappears
Door deprives door shares
Had doors been toward one way only

Copulating on the wing, butterflies on mission
Mostly pure white on this summer day –welcome cool -
Like delicious Autumn, but breaking the rule
Of long hot summers on the Eastern Cape
Mostly white...

outskirts of dark village,
on an old Neem tree next to our small remote house,
ghost rampage!

I lived in fear,
dreaded she ghost with yellow blouse,
Stay near!

Small kid,

Outskirts of dark village
dreaded she ghost with yellow...

They were vibrant women, 
whose voices vibrated in the vicinity. 
Their squabbles were X-rated. 
Profanity pirouetted nude in their expressions.

Their ways were bitter 
but beneficial...

In the stores of words all go maiden,
A reward in gold for words unspoken,
