(NATURE'S UNPREDICTABILITY)
Silver
ribbon, endless currents
The
river flows, around and away.
Surface
beauty, beast within.
(SAD RELIEF)
Sweet
scent, damp earth
Sakura
swathe the weathered stone.
My
sister is finally at peace.
(AMOUR)
Clear
mirror, entangled curls
Cheek
to cheek, back to chest, palm to breast.
A
ripple. The memory's gone.
(NERO'S GUESTS)
The
man cries
Flames
roast, him and my meat
I
belch and smile.
(BABRI MASJID RIOTS)
I am
human
I
kill Hafiz (Hey Ram!)
He is
(not) human
(FARMERS' SUICIDES)
I
can't burn
Mother
has buried me alive
Fire
is relief
(RAPE CASES)
It
tears me
Man pounds
and woman takes - why?
Oh,
it hurts!
(RELIGIOUS BROTHERHOOD)
Singh
and Saud
Brothers
in arms, flesh, rights
Rights,
not riots
(WHEN A LOVED ONE LEAVES IN
THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE)
Why would you do this?
Red drips, from vein to clear tub
Why would you do this?
(WHEN I MISS THE HECK OUT OF
YOU)
Big
black ugly hole yawns
And
long stone white path stretches
Achingly
- without you.
