COVID-19

 COVID-19


Punitive

corona virus--

lépreuse

some say it's invasion

the barbarian without


quarantined

I clear my throat

behind the face mask

breathe in unknown viruses

suffer new repressions


now lockdown

cut off life:

castration

Hugo said monasticism

resisting death


--R K Singh

CULTURE

 

Together  

exploring meaning  

of staying  

together 43 years --  

a poet's madness:  

 

in the park  

seeing the green in her eyes  

joy wells up:  

she feels the silver blue  

the leaves breathing her touch  

 

Saturday lunch  

at Bhuddha's bar --  

my second beer bottle  

they deprive in Bihar  

transgressing old culture  

 

myriad lines  

in the hollow of my palms  

joined in prayer  

prepossessing humor  

cynically exchanged  

 

in the bright sun  

my dark shadow  

parts company  

under the banyan  

one more burial  

 

--R K Singh
