I See an Ant


I see an ant
Carrying a termite wing
Over the steel street nameplate
CHESTNUT. In front of the oxblood thorax jiggles
The litAe isinglass petal
Which has its own amber shadow.
One hundred and four years of wheels
Crossing the steel
Have rubbed its cross-hatchings smooth.
It would take many ants to do such a thing.
Fewer if each carried a termite wing.

When One Loses the Image of Oneself



When one loses the image of oneself,
An able body man should emerge
One who bides the time and sounds the bells,
A bird that sings to itself high on a birch.
For all cravings go awry when the heart double-takes,
And pumps all the faster to see oneself bloom,
And oh the self assurance that flowers just a remake
of the budding thing that grew once out of doom.
And fair is fair, his sight may be stolen away
For in his hourglass time waste too soon.
Fear for a stranger who barked once and gained his stay…
For men go back to things they used to do.
For that man should waste no power and want no more
than give life to one that needs to be restored.

   SHALINI RAO
Of Late

…and singe the night air with embers of my ego plastered with Paris.
Past lingers on, The perfume stays in bed all day to wake fresh flowers.
I am a dew-drop on the autumn Leaf afraid of smiles that wade through
a sea of thoughts interrupted by the doorbell.

Wait a while, stranger.
Let the trees bathe in the blue
And that whisper of light stay.

I want to sin.

the river...yes...if it hadnt rained maybe...


doors
constructed shapes

you me walking

standing
exchanging coins for fruit

you speak i

walking waiting crossing

up museum steps
down
       
carrying fruit
a book from a museum

sitting sideways
doors slide

figures enter exit

your breath mine theirs

your words mine theirs
my silence yours

a room
your shoes mine

a table 
fruit near a bowl
a book

your words mine
you turn pages i

i sleep

you
