Pitha

smell from the grandma's kitchenette
that fills the whole abode
my little heart and my hungry tummy too
Pithas or Rice-cakes
this are native legacies
wrapped with fondness
served on english platter with elate

Roadside stalls
Buzz with traffic's cadences
Benches lined up with the critters 
Along the whirls of leaves and the roars of branches 
'The tea tumblers cuddles the pithas'!!

Genesis

I don’t want to sit 
on a patch of fear,
tangled in occupation
while fighting with the locks.

The theater of tumblers.
I am here, not there
making dents in air
on alarmed street.

Time was out and time was in
against the jolted clocks.
I have stopped to get
an imprint of amputations.

You will not get ruby
you will not get gold.
Dust will go in dust
after the fall of royal debris.

Premium Member Next Full Moon

I hear music Distant, but clear Such soothing solace A pleasant tone To my ear You lay before my eyes Swift grace And tumblers pride I hold you A warm embrace Together our souls melt Listening to a sound And feeling its twin delight Timeless hour Love’s filling all around Next full moon Coming soon I hear We prep our hearts again To be soon Again, be near

A Father's Reverie

A Father’s Reverie


I have been sentenced to tumblers
of iced tea in an old lawn chair
for the summers that remain 
in my life. But I don’t complain.
I go to bed and I lie there

for hours like a mummy. 
I stare at the ceiling and finger a curl
in my sleeping wife’s hair.
How many hours do I slaughter 

each evening, asking no one
why I quit drinking 
the day I got married,
why I got married
the day I quit drinking.

why I quit drinking

You Don't Know Jack

No jack-of-all-trades but master of one it's safe to say the combination spun Jack was a safecracker had it down pat and a crackerjack cracksman he was at that not a people person he'd sneak down halls more a steeplejack and shinny up walls jimmy a window then with stealth jewels unload remove the wealth crack the code find the fault turn the tumblers open the vault locks he'd smash break the bank relieve the loot of locked stashed cash
