The Bamboo Hut, No.4, 2020 publishes my four tanshi

 R.K. Singh


covid-19
reading the astral transit
ceaseless lockdown
oversanitised hands
playing 'stairway to heaven'


the rivers
decayed into sewers
revive in lockdown:
no plastic bottles, no bags
and fishes swim near the banks


ridicule
their exploring gaze
veiled women
with colours, patterns
and seismic movement


I'm not alone
waking up in the grave--
angels await
my rise to eternity
my love's union again
