1.HAZY SUN
Sweating desire
inhales new sketches
with mind's pen
on the pillow
image by image
night passes
not knowing
how a hazy sun
rose from the sea
2.WINTER
The day is shorter
the night longer
and yet sleepless
suffer the dark
in the air in bed
I listen to roar
or whisper of
wingless worries
no high poetry
but nightmares trimming
the sun and the sky
that could never be
3.THEY
They pour sand in my hair
and fill my shoes with stones
to make me heavy
like many I too grab
the grass and try to float
but my fingers slip
they refuse my pleas for
a rope or staff to help
me drift in current
they wish me to become
with facial epitaph
my own tomb
--R.K.SINGH
