The bulbul and the worms
Six A.M. the bulbul arrived
Our backyard worms forgot
It was his breakfast time.
Six A.M. the bulbul arrived
Our backyard worms forgot
It was his breakfast time.
Beauty had cried in torrents
Of words bereft of thought
Till the blazing March sun
Beat history's scraggly stones
A midsummer celebration
Ensued with images galore
Beauty returned from the hills.

In my nights of waiting
For sunrise and flowers
I look pain in the face.
I wake up bleary-eyed
Trying to catch beach suns
Before they turn white.

It is this luminosity, my dear,
Of the gilded leaves in the sun
The magic eye promptly catches
A silver flicker, a yellow transience.
A palliative to the chemical pain
In variously knotted entrails and
The reddish tinge in eye-whites.

Clusters
of acacias that had grown
Waterless under the skin of the
earth
Spread their ghostly hair evenly
In the rainless ,
blazing August sky.

The tree waited in the dark
Studded with white pearls
Of sleeping flamingos.

Dark
liquid clouds
Coagulated around the moon
Drawing a nebulous
circle
Presaging silver rain .
