A PINK POSTMODERNIST CREPT IN PALE PRAGUE

The jarring justice of the man; Kafka penned in melancholy. 

Journey circled in hundred years

As sanitary was at the door

Vermin crippled in segments 

For judgment,

slithered...!

My neighbour was senile, lurching gait; Rummaged the files

Cunning spoon of clerks engulfed 

Coins. Mischievous officer told

“let burry in darkest hole”

For a official pension he trialed

thousand Kafka’s corner.

One day he dripped his head in kerosine oil around circle of crowd

Match box was going to strike

A self immolation aloud.

Paper rushed to his door 

Drama and judgment

are conjoined twins of democracy.

White whisker of the pensioner is now twisted up.

 

I Seeeeeeeeee

A PINK POSTMODERNIST CREPT IN PALE PRAGUE

Talks on Bier

Bilateral talks on bier opens

An invisible window

A pound of mine oozes out--

You know–

Words are frisky bubble

In a silent playground.

Cold Coffee.           

The blotchy beam of stagnant sun

on running chariot,

filtered in my netted window 

descended in cup of cold coffee.

I caught the silhouette --

broken bangles on rectangular bier

and the vermillion box of the mother

stumbled, beside the pyre.

An Iron Lady—My Grandmother was a milk seller.

a great bargainer, sold milk for stories.

stored them in the mud huts.

I stole stories while she was sleeping.

A noon napper—

left behind a brook of viscus stories in melted marrow,

dining still in throat.

One day I thought to cut off

my unending throat,

but the chiseled scalpel 

concocted in cold coffee.

It’s still regurgitating 

belching, though I bolted down,

hundred years ago—
