DEATH IN DREAM

The body that died
and the body that quivered
with menstruation
is me in dream fear and hope
shake love to light the flame

stir the time static
for decades crippled impulses
fleshed as my daughter
touch the psychic memory:
I re-live the bliss through death

FLOWER MOON

swallows the pills
chanting mantra to sleep:
flower moon


--R.K.SINGH

WAITING

Sits on a mound
overlooking the camp
awaits signal

AUTUMN

Searching reason
in the labyrinthine pattern
a bullying autumn


--R.K.SINGH

JOURNEY

Boarding the train
I look for my luggage
midst the cries of theft

DARK FLOOR

Her lonely grief
melts in the candle wax
evening's dark floor


-R.K.SINGH

A NEW MORNING

Aged with the seasons
now seeks sojourn in the west
a new morning waits


--R.K.SINGH

Areolar Hue

Pours boiling water
on the teabag in the cup:
areolar hue


-R.K.SINGH

TEA

In the tea cup
stirs the teabag:
areolar hue

BRIDE

With memories
waits for the night of love
the bride in veil
