Fish

away from home--
smell of frying fish
in the air

Some Tanka

SOME  TANKA

The  mirror swallowed
my footprints on the shore
I couldn’t blame the waves
the geese kept flying over the head
the shadows  kept  moving afar


Professors  beware
intellectual success
lies in inventing
lies to conceal common truths
and sound holier-than-thou


Little candles fail
to illumine the deity
or golden dome
in the valley darkness reigns
and god too awaits light


The mind creates
withdrawn to its own pleasures
a green thought
behind the banyan tree
behind the flickering lust


The drying trees
live my age:
autumn
warmth of new day
hot tea and singing birds


Plodding away at
season’s conspiracies
life has proved untrue
with God an empty word
and prayers helpless  cries


On the roof top
she waits for her man with
moon cake and lantern:
a flash of silver showers
on the  mist-shrouded figure


The god fire
in the soul forces back
my secret fall
I feel the retarding weight
in the fate’s deadly turn


Unknowable
the soul’s pursuits hidden
by its own works:
the spirit’s thirst, the strife
the restless silence, too much

Haiku

out in the open
seeking safe corner to ease:
rapist fields


--R.K.Singh

Worshipper

scratching his groin 
a worshiper offers food: 
the flattered deity 
in flowery garbage, holy 
water, incense and sweat 

--R.K.Singh

Dying Sun

DYING SUN

How does it matter
I remember or forget
the nights or lights
that stand still 

in the dense fog
nothing visible
nor audible

the thundering
planes
touch the ground:

it’s all game
of guess and vague
everyone

everything
even the tick
of the clock

this freezing hour
redolent of 
crumbling echoes

I can’t divine
vision
or loom up certainty
to mock follies
of dying sun

Clueless

Each night a challenge:
suffocative restlessness
sleepless spirits’ noise
sexual starvation
anal menstruation
dingy subconscious
 
conspire behind closed eyes
absent healing and
wishful miracles
 
a clueless sun rises
bugging time and life
 
–R.K.Singh

I Can Live

11.	I CAN LIVE

I’ve outlived
the winter’s
allergies
and depressing rains
in a human zoo

I can live
my retirement too
without pension and
medicare:

the wheelchair
doesn’t frighten
I can live

uncared and unknown
survive broken home
the numbness of the
arms
the  pain in the
neck

and inflation too

15 Haiku

crowded streets
moving  among the
years
wretched faces



a sleeping snake
curled between the
eggs—
layers of leaves


a yellow spider
crouching in a
corner
invisible webs


lying listless
on withered creeper
a golden bird


a lone sparrow
atop the naked
branch
viewing sunset


a frog 
bullied into the
hedge:
snake’s breakfast


on the road
an injured toad—
onlookers


parents pelt  stones
at the mating street
dogs—
nosey children


potholes:
spots of sunshine
wobble


sudden downpour
noisy trucks at
midnight
crowded footbridge


sipping coffee
at a wayside stall
cockroaches too


watching dogs
frolicking in the
park—
jaded couples


dusky backyard
crowded parrots’
shrieks
autumn onset


chasing each other
in the by lane
two birds


a teenager
glides past me  on
roller blades
her long hair flows

Tea Break

With mordant comments
he tries to geld a standpat
in a feminists' meet
and turns a sook
at tea break

--R.K.Singh

Professor

a professor
not worried so much--
shrinking genius
at his table views nudes
reviews failed erections

--R.K.Singh
