BODY

She lends her canvas
with emotions on palate:
cries of orchestra


--R.K.SINGH

DOG DAYS

Sultry heat
midsummer lethargy:
dog star shines

--R K SINGH

MORNING

Rising late
rushes through morning chores:
moldy strap

R.K.SINGH

REBELLION

In his ochre robe
the rebel sanyasin says
he'll drop his ego
like the skin's layers torn off
and starts peeling an orange


--R.K.SINGH

FLY

Mating or sitting
one fly over the other--
I don't know its sex


--R.K.SINGH

SNAKE

From the wall to bed
a snake slides in bright light
son and father chase


--R.K.SINGH

MOULDINGS

Watching black and gold
mouldings behind the frame--
his dead mother

--R.K.SINGH

MOULDY SMELL

Emitting
a mouldy smell
her blouse

--R.K.SINGH
