suman-amarnath - Hello Poetry

Alone again: here even silence fights, spinning air, dunnnn of single light, Bird outside: Calling me for... News: my bottomless appetite Cities shut quiet Empty lots and oh... numbers delight! 4 percent, 8 percent drop a thousand more died. On and on On and on till... Listen: fan, light and tree rustle Close your eyes see the point? A grey blue dot article bright Yes burning black hole but shrinking against white yes, yes, yes See it shrinking Shrinking And shrinking Till it melts into light. Right Now write. A blank page to begin again This time... Let's do it right.

Alone again

Alone again: here even silence fights, spinning air, dunnnn of single light, Bird outside: Calling me for...

Listen: fan, light and tree rustle Close your eyes see the point? A grey blue dot article bright Yes burning black hole but shrinking against white yes, yes, yes See it shrinking Shrinking And shrinking Till it melts into light. Right Now write.

I found something not from here outside a home, sitting alone a hard body, smooth surface shaped perhaps, by forces severe a volcano, a glacier. I picked it up for a while heard its tale, a lively life ... you look old, spent and done are you just resting here, or have you retired? We spoke some more, shared our woes till twas time to let it go in a private spot, by the lake open skies, no one in sight.

Something doesnt belong

I found something not from here outside a home, sitting alone a hard body, smooth surface shaped perhaps, by forces severe a volcano, a glacier. I picked it up for a while heard its tale, a lively life ... you look old, spent and done are you just resting here, or have you retired? We spoke some more, shared our woes till twas time to let it go in a private spot, by the lake open skies, no one in sight.

You say your man is great that he can build a bed from a bark You say your man can cook blanch, broil, braise and clarify a dish wonderful You say your man can love in sixty eight positions of the ******* Kamasutra You say your man is fit runs a marathon, half marathon cyclathon and once swam across the Atlantic He sounds great my love a perfect catch then why do you still hold my hand?

Your man can fix anything

You say your man is great that he can build a bed from a bark You say your man can cook blanch, broil, braise and clarify a dish wonderful You say your man can love in sixty eight positions of the ******* Kamasutra You say your man is fit runs a marathon, half marathon cyclathon and once swam across the Atlantic He sounds great my love a perfect catch then why do you still hold my hand?

How did you end up with the bad news why are you the one asked to die why not that guy... the one too fat to fit in his car or that one who loves just his phone You, who loved the world who found joy in new bloom who waited for the monsoon why have you... been asked to exit stage left you are beauty we need and yet you are all packed up who will find us a birdsong or count the stars again perhaps this is how a play ends or this is how the lights go out.
