Poems by Ram Krishna Singh
Dhanbad, India
HAIKU
crowded streets
moving among the years
wretched faces
a sleeping snake
curled between the eggs—
layers of leaves
a yellow spider
crouching in a corner
invisible webs
lying listless
on withered creeper
a golden bird
a lone sparrow
atop the naked branch
viewing sunset
a frog
bullied into the hedge:
snake’s breakfast
on the road
an injured toad—
onlookers
parents pelt stones
at the mating street dogs—
nosey children
potholes:
spots of sunshine
wobble
sudden downpour
noisy trucks at midnight
crowded footbridge
watching dogs
frolicking in the park—
jaded couples
dusky backyard
crowded parrots’ shrieks
autumn onset
chasing each other
in the by lane
two birds
a teenager
glides past me on roller blades
her long hair flows
receding crowd
from the street fair
Jesus in the eyes
NUDE DELIGHT
The coiled divine
renews eternity
in the body's cells
fed on sensuous sweetness
and moment's littleness
for years fleshly reign
seemed spirit's radiance
in the deep pit
now suddenly sparks the itch
for heaven's nude delight
NEW YEAR
The dates on calendar question
all my undone acts
and memories that haunt or fade
in nightly nakedness
stumbling toward the next day’s sun
without celebration
at 63 January jeers
my degenerating sex
a still itch: mantra and mirror
quiet god and drying petals
--Ram Krishna Singh
