A sea of coconuts smothered, sultrily,
The most unwilling moss-painted houses
The banyan raised its feet high enough
For hundreds of creepy monsoon-creatures
The journey then began in white rain
Waiting for streaks of silver sunshine
To crawl through upright areca nut barks
As the telephone wires went up and down
A floating bird quickly froze in the sky
First the coconut fronds ran to the hills
Then the chilly plants go red in the face.
the caterpillar eats holes
in our garden leaves,
poetry- words scrawled
in thick sticky leaves
and then he becomes fatter
on the flanks with floral designs.
the stinking caterpillar then
disappears beyond the fence
leaving behind incandescent
thingy poetry- words.
At the dead of the night, they embrace
Their shadows on the frosted glass
The window –sill is carpeted with wings
Our entire garden walk is strewn with
Countless carcasses of one-day glory.
Last year the weather was warm
Nowhere was the monsoon in sight
These creatures crouched under the earth
With half-sprouted wings for take-off.
This season it is entirely different
These are long wet nights followed by
Rich raking of their gossamer wings.
We have our myths, carefully polished
Over Time's washed stones on the riverbed
Our accumulated minds enormously meshed
In a haystack of shared consciousness.
Our gods have uneasily existed all these days
With spirits who have to be driven out
From darkly lonely houses and fearful men.
On the hillock pallid ghosts come haunting
In moonlit houses amid fearful blood-chants
You know our god is fear ,not rain's beauty
Or lonely jungles ringing with the cascades.
This German farmer had picked up
His pretty bride on the internet
On his first night she was actually
A whiskered man in her pants.
He felt really sad and forlorn,
Watching alone all the porn
He actually liked all of you
To feel with him equally love-lorn
And screened the stuff for all
Ye,high-born and low-born !
