1. AFTER THE ACT They practice death in school
and blame India: terrorist politics
Ellos ejercen muerte en la escuela y culpan India de politicas terroristas* ( prox,edición en español) no wake-up call be it Nawaz or
Modi power luxury
in
angel costume each invokes divine condemnation after the act ritual truth burial and peace politics
2.
YOU CAN'T SCENT ME In the poems I write you can read my mind even know
when I'm blue before
the mirror when I stand in the dark you can't scent me nor will words comfort in chilly December when alone in candle light empty coffee cups deride the syllables I spin to make haiku my
hairs in air reveal the baldness: wank without wad 3.
DEBRIS OF DREAMS It's near but every place has a distance and people too they
flee to see me in their vicinity sense a danger I don't belong: they curse me for what I'm not self-made
misery traps them to hell I can't help their doom nor stop their wanton rage down to smallness they
hate only themselves and sculpt new sorrows I must erase the debris of dreams they leave and be at peace 4. CLAY DREAMS They make my face ugly in my own sight what shall I see in the mirror? there is no beauty or holiness left in the naked
nation: the streams flow dark and the hinges of doors moan politics of corruption I weep for its names and the faces they deface with clay dreams

1.ANGELIC MAGIC
Luck awaits me if I could buy it from her miracles stores
she gives me three dates for her call to reach the higher cosmic forces
she dreams me stand in the middle of a tree-lined park
against saffron
flowers flashes of
light focus on my serene
face
the shower of gold tempts a being of light descends I'm offered a new life
divine abundance defeat of enemies and stream of love
if I could pay for
her rituals of angelic
magic
2.NEMESIS
The deities are dumb so they speak louder and louder
vie
with each other for
godhood
descend from mosque top to Supreme Court
now await resurrection
3.SMALLNESS I live in a crowd of fakes smallness rises with age
my mind has ceased to think new metaphors hardly happen
hunger keeps me awake all night I mitigate minginess
the inner lives emptied and filled with fresh stresses
too many fault lines run through to make sense of the divide
my passion itches and prompts I nuzzle the virtual too
it's the same virus aground the same hackers that hurt
the
vigor and rigor of the
new, left, or pushed behind
whatever the remedy wounds take deaths to heal

POETRY UNSAFE
She doesn't like to see me take bath in the sun or cross the doors naked
the body frightens her even in the dark as if buried in dust
the whole year passes with her turning on me like rheumatic
twinge
emptiness haunts with mind in the gutter poetry unsafe
6.
VULGARITY
What is there to relish in heaven if the vulgarity of relationship haunts even after retiring from earth?
the loose threads of yearning criss-cross memory I can still feel the river's twisted flow toward lower
reaches, exhausted and strip teased
the nudity of moon and stars is beyond touch who cares I evolve or end
like them suspended from a plane I can hardly reach
7. FOUR MICROPOEMS
i.
peeping through the fog the
sun feebly comforts a sparrow's nest built under the window sill: i hear a new-born crying
ii.
my face locked in her hands i can't look- love's changing shapes a bird in cage
iii.
scratching his groin a worshipper offers food: the flattered deity in flowery garbage, holy water,
incense, & sweat iv.
one more plateau to negotiate between lapses
in bed: the moon shines bright & naked I brave her cold lashes
--RAM KRISHNA SINGH

4. PEACE IN SIN
I thought I'd locate you in the dark lonely street but I myself got lost
mind's mazy prompts shocked me into nakedness I never perceived
the misleading sun the unreal reflections the dumb show
dazzle my eyes shades of terror in alleys smell of treachery
at the crossroads the selfish gene's tarots of my random choices
in dim blue light smiling breasts invite autumn breeze
I
chuckle to myself hearing
raps of inverse world and
peace in sin
5. BE WARY The path to the mastoid mountain is snaky the women you meet are not fucking material you can't grab the sun shining in their hair they're cool but hell-strong, know well how to
take care of their wood
so have some charm
within the lust-house of your heart and enjoy the gathering clouds ready to burst before you cross the distances
or strip naked in the sticks or write poems on stretches of free way or make deal with the devil at every turn
be wary of the emptiness ahead 6.HAPPINESS
Dreams puzzling smallness of waking I can't live the child's circumcision promise of happiness 7.NIRVANA Hours of silence and a lot of walks: no facile words
no touchiness no
paranoia no pilgrimage
but chanting within through the declining day the inner acoustics
on a hilltop no cloudy incantation: gasp for nirvana 8. CLEANSING I'm no god nor beast I can't live alone
can't sail with the stream even if foolish
seeking
chimeras imploring
in vain
finished relations link pigs, snakes, monkeys
crowd the pretences in my head suspend
all formulations now no more cleansing
spirit viruses and
false oracles --Ram
Krishna Singh
