Living Again: Some Micropoems

black t shirt

1

Bamboo grove-

hearing whispers of

liquid dream

2

With fractured head

abandoned in the field

a scarecrow

3

Counting

the days’ passage–

sleeping pill

4

Her sleeping desire

no dirty tantalizer:

we two together

5

Feeling one with

water in cupped hands:

Diogenes

6

Tea festival-

revival of wishes

made months ago

7

Shade of her lips

between the cup and saucer-

lingering taste

8

Withdrawn within

sensing infinity:

an island

9

Between the lantern

and the smart phone

a pizza-eating girl

10

Her veil

hides the face

love too

11

Stands between

the shadow and the soul–

Neruda

12

Raising the glass

to invite the lone moon–

silent shadow

13

Virtual flirting

untamed straggly bushes–

dystopia

14

Moving shadows

on the door curtain–

sinking sun

15

Etched on her skin

a ghost rises from the flames:

fighting one more day

16

A quiet tuning in

to partake of her silence:

roaring ocean

17

Start of the morning

painless anal bleeding

empty prayers

18

In silence

one with the divine will

growing within

19

Fallen mangoes

after the midnight storm-

morning drizzle

20

Empty hangers

clatter in the wardrobe-

new bridal dress

21

Branches swing

welcome the pre-monsoon rain:

picking ripe mangoes

22

A dancing beau

takes a deep breath again:

blazing sun

23

They come together

as themselves within themselves-

love’s silence

24

Cloning miracles

with the night’s discharge

in condoms

25

A vague smile

in moonless cave:

tempting silence

26

Late night sleep

no lotus in the dream-

Chinese garden

27

My dream

too barren to bear fruit-

Sarah

28

With failed words

seek immortality

write haiku

29

Dreaming her nude

the serpent rises:

first orgasm

30

Her face

reflecting light

a mirror

31

Foam-maned waves

rise in the mind’s hush:

sinking dome

32

Living again

fountain on the hill-top-

divine light

33

Vanishes faster

than the twinkling of an eye

an eagle’s shadow

34

Hidden

behind the pillar

her half face

35

Clouded supermoon

and unseen shooting stars-

how to make a wish?

36

Too many gods

and so few flowers

whom to please?

37

What is this light

without rays shining

in your eyes?

38

Rises drowsily

after a sleepless night

a sick sun

39

No yesterday

drifting back and forth

a sex thought

40

Reading future

in the urinal bowl-

forked urine

41

Their racist talk

at the dining table-

stale beer

42

Morning breeze

a feel of sweet chill-

receding monsoon

43

A yellow snake sneaks

through the blooming balsams’ bed

a lone frog puffs up

44

Slowly rising

from the clouds edges

autumn sun

45

Her name

written on the sand:

a wave breaks

46

Counting sand

between the toes

my daughter at sea

47

October 8

full moon and lunar eclipse

silvermoon bracelet

48

Drying on clothesline

teachers’ bras and panties:

classroom windows

49

Hovers to the same

marigold I pluck for god

a green butterfly

50

Turn into river

non-existing roads:

Hudhud waves

51

Sunrise

without newspapers:

post-chhat rest

52

A fish tail

dried up in river mud:

burning smell

53

Fallen leaves

smell the change in season:

greying backyard

54

Awake

alone on the housetop

a sparrow

55

A lone sparrow

on the deserted housetop:

burning hearth

56

A haiku poet

seeking literary edge-

virtual nonsense

57

Moves leisurely

from her kitchen to the fridge

a cockroach

58

Sitting quietly

on a packet of sweets

a cockroach in the fridge

59

Warming together

on a ceiling fan’s arm

two pigeons

60

Smells the fragrance

locked between the body and vest:

new visitor

61

Unresolved

hurt of the past-

longer nights

62

Wingless flight

in retired solitude-

sadhana

63

Dust-covered deities

in my aged father’s room:

nebulization

64

Watching

the darkness between the stars

enlightenment

65

Icy coldness

knives my being in bed-

scorpions

66

The night rains

pattering on the roof

owlish silence

67

Searching peace

in the dark blankness

of mind’s silence

68

In the diary

searching phone numbers of

friends now alive

69

Hitching up the skirt

she fills her pockets with

unripe mangoes

70

Unable to map

on the face where her pain ends

and mine begins

71

Her silence

sounds dead in mind-ash:

tongue in fire

72

Drying in sand

after the water yoga

her feet

73

Reduced to a worm

sleeping carefree on a

eunuch island

74

A small woman

with big boobs and lustful teeth

crouching on sofa

75

The scanner doesn’t show

the baby’s face in the womb:

heart beats heard loud

76

In a glass house

nobody knows anyone-

silent suffering

77

Seventh floor

Fortis Hospital lounge

anxious faces

78

Aggrieved air

allergic patient

room freshner

79

Sudden downpour

seek shelter on roadside

hapless pedestrians

80

Hearing heaviness

of her footsteps passing

the closed door

81

Picking mangoes

in the summer loneliness-

guard’s greedy look

82

Dead roots-

how swiftly the tooth falls

making me older

83

Passing the lake

in blackish reflection

a coalminer

84

A waving flame

Measuring the heaven’s breath:

rings of light widen

85

Her eyes flashing

mist of eternal joy:

quiet after crying

86

A bright hue

through the green wave

rhyming with spring

87

Swaying on one stem

so many lotuses-

beatitude

88

Midnight downpour

now only a whisper

and toss of trees

89

In the study

the scent of mangoes riping-

no children yet

90

Mangoes shrink

on the tree-

heat wave

91

Turns black

before merging into sea

the Ganga

92

Piddling on the wall

he makes a map and laughs in

the policeman’s face

93

Nagging lumbar pain-

who cares less monsoons in June

six months more to work

94

Awaiting

the taste of her

on my tongue

95

Trying to reach

through her twists and curves

the lips in the crotch

96

A rose

about to fall

standing tall

97

Touching my hand

a curved arm of the tree-

over-ripe mango

98

Transparent

in her red saree

she tiptoes

99

Shifting years’ load

away to the new building-

choking scholarship

100

A poem

in your beauty

light of love

101

She smiles

sex in the eyes:

Eve Enseler

102

In disguise

more confident and sexy-

a bully

103

On the wall

unmoving fan in the class

sweating talk

104

Head lifted up

the wayside brook-

traveler

105

A dewdrop

on the edge of the leaf-

the wind shakes

106

Squatting

in the middle of the field

a woman with child

107

Negotiates

the grand-daughter’s cry for mom

out on shopping

108

On the lamp post

two pigeons talk about

loneliness in my son’s house

109

After the snow

buried in silence

mastoid mountains

110

Shine in the grass

broken pieces of glass

in the backyard

111

Stinks the way

to HSS Block:

dengue breeder

112

On the river’s bank

his soul is lighted for peace-

lantern in the sky

113

Pulsing

but still missing

his left leg

114

Without sex

night’s not a comfort-

menopause

115

Doesn’t exist

my mornings without

her sunsets

116

Looking for fish

a Siberian crane

in a lotus pond

117

Lying in her nightie

she wipes the stray raindrops

settled on her cheeks

118

Hot on the trail with youth

she scales up the heights of dream

and leaves me stunned with chill

119

Smell of fish

in his apple juice bottle-

costermonger

120

A sick heart

inside him and outside

rouge of smile

121

Maturing like wine

her feminine figure jumps

my ageing fullness

122

No liberation

unless born as a male:

her earthy smell

123

Squeezing water

out of a rock-

R.K. Singh

124

From the second floor

to the ground travels in lift

a butterfly

125

Crowded waiting hall

fleshly warmth with smelly clothes:

midnight train still late.
