FACSIMILE
if we paint
we do not copy,
facsimile-
an appearance,we see
through who,we be
after Van Hoogstraten's dictum
minus certain bits
left for dead
or facsimile
MagiCicada 13
My pet horsefly is so darn finicky
Dings every male in the vicinity
Only goes for rock stars
Who play a mean guitar
She will not accept a facsimile
A man with a pen
Puts a pen to a paper
Moves a pen to create words
Silly words, arranged in operatic exhibitions
Facsimile egos, stitched together
From whispers of impossibility, or,
better yet,
Crushing normality.
Inbetweeness
inwardsness
in
facsimile contrasts
energy
deployed innovatively
an equilibrium
of parallels pursued
interwoven
overlaid
lines with circles
in reciprocal
motifs
counterpoint
visualisaed
slowly
in
mosaical
harmony.
One fringe of image
disconnected, a knife within,
in a trench
battle still continues between you
and yourself
for ending of animal. Did it bleed?
Home was still faraway
a secured period.
Bouncing euphoria.
blunted and bailed out
paper thin memory
of broken mirror.
O Unseen,
take a bow,
lightning for a requiem
in sky, was embossed !
SATISH VERMA
Form:
Hark!
It’s getting dark!
Long gone to nest, the lark…
But for the mongrels
Good nominees for Satan’s laurels,
Just for their vicious teeth that spark,
Time to interminably bark
And liberties take
With canines; uncanny mark
That resilient flesh break,
On their victims in amusement parks
Producing un-amusing facsimile of shark’s.
Night guard dogs,
Forever, I have cancelled night jogs.
Forward you wouldn’t move
When expected in the groove;
Sideways turning is all you do
To aid the destroyer and foe.
And fastest you skip and dash
When there’s no need to rush;
Fashioning a facsimile ever tense
When all you do is sit on the fence.
But no amount of feigned zeal
Shall those sharp wounds heal;
Mountains of duping balm unleash
And I’d still unmask all your fetish.
You are beautiful when the facsimile is complete,
flowers resplendent,
and the focus of eyes hungry for lost decorum,
the patterned tables, chairs,
wrought iron ornaments, mark
a harmony with the weaving weeds in the terrace,
and so too the planted trellis,
but now, in early spring,
while your neat rectangle of water remains drained,
I can't help but notice the sad fountain-
a sputtering pipe,
exposed bone,
and the garden falls apart.
The chap about to do a solo
Is proud of wearing a polo;
Facsimile of the one worn by another fellow
To whom he has already wired ‘A Humbling Hello’
That I should remember for being ‘Hopelessly Hollow’…
Only if he could his forehead furrow
And into a long brooding burrow,
He would some more classic trumpet blow
And in its notes glow,
His confidence causing to grow
And mean to never go down low
While trying to with the others flow.
a facsimile of torture
candlelit in moony dark
i want to unread the anointed death
on this tip of an arrow,
here it comes
the hissed phrase
wrenching the gut –
for conceptual withdrawl,
dawn of dark secrets
without footprints of echo
extracting a price,
do not stop fighting,
smear me with blood
hot spurts of thrills to defend the pink
in valley of counterfeits blades,
the green was fake,
the red was fake,
pure white poison
SATISH VERMA
Form:
My husband bought me earrings
With an avian design.
They look like feathers of a hawk;
I’m happy that they’re mine.
At first they didn’t grab me
When within the box they lay,
But dangling from my ears they’re great,
As I found out today.
Since red tail hawks will mate for life
The symbolism fits,
For 40 years of marriage means
We’ll never call it quits.
I often witness red tail hawks
In flight or in a tree
And now in silver I can sport
A hawk facsimile.
Under new management
his skin became more porous
epidermal squamous cells
more translucent,
maybe he was just getting older
maybe the new governor
of his think-machinery
did a better job of keeping up with
everyday maintenance.
His eyes were never the best
but he often did not need them
to see through the obvious,
the unconscious slight-of-hand
chicanery of other's.
He also saw where he had been
a facsimile and ersatz to the hilt.
He chuckles now
as he cleans house again.
