Петрушка настамба
Ram Krishna Singh, India
Yellow lemons
still hanging after the storm
sunny backyard
***
sun rising late
slow arrival of winter
feverish warmth
***
weaving webs
between branches and leaves
autumn spiders
***
fit of sneezes
no winter allergy
thinking of sex
***
fingers feel
decaying fireflies
in lamplight
***
white light
dressing off her shoulders
musky scent up
***
prayer book
covering the glass—
his last drink
***
noon sun-
yellow blouse
on her wet back
***
brightness
straining through the trees:
tea in full moon
***
waking up
gloves ready for the catch-
unclaimed light
***
forever
a vanishing guest:
loneliness
***
unlockdown:
fractured biorhythm
deity distance
***
Sunday’s lunar light
shining into the deepest-
my shadow self
***
stands behind the door
in pleasing nudity
a woman in hurry
***
I didn’t want to stare
her derriere lacks
definition
***
resting
in the cleft of the rock
honeybees
***
float over the hill
the autumn circles of smoke-
her long hair streaming
***
a quick brush
with snake in the fence:
plucking flowers
***
December dusk
firy cleavage on roadside
breathless coalfield
–R K SINGH
