My Three Poems Published in Rendition of International Poetry in English and Chinese
Ram Krishna Singh[India]
Cry for alternative(and other two poems)
There is a whole lot of crowded life under the long fly-over
—from fish market to plastic tents and car parking to excretion—
poorpedestrians can’t cross the road either side
they fear auto rickshaws, bikes, food stalls, pushes and pickpockets
on the footpath extended shops short-circuit every movement
oppositeParas Cancer Centre in Raja Bazar
it’s a sight of sepsis with multiple dysfunction
—a consilience of rural ambition with urban abundance—
they cry for alternative diagnosis but lack doctor and ventilator
Nobody asks me
From lattice window
I watch the doomed and dying each day
read the tattooed name
of her first love on the right arm
waking up the drunk
with tenderness of youthful mom
bitchy fight at night
for booze or sex in candle light
smoking dreams of years
with dirt or grease between fingers
hissomniloquy
drugged-out face, doomed grin, boys’ dustup
now the Covid smells
they shift lamp to live with shadow
lockdown images
burning, buried, floating bodies
I nearly die
nobody asks me my last wish
Gospel
Don’t question the lips
that wilt the tongue
licking wetness in the mouth
the mystery of delight
prophecy of the birth
by salty swallowing
make new parables
with face mask surviving
one more gospel
拉姆 ·克里希纳·辛格[印度]
哭求不同（外二首）
长长的立交桥下，一大堆拥挤的生命
——从鱼市到塑料帐篷从停车场到排泄物——
可怜的行人无法从马路的两边穿过
他们害怕自动黄包车，自行车，小吃摊，推搡，扒手
人行道上，一字儿排开的商贩，随时会拥堵
就在拉贾集市的帕拉斯癌症中心对面
这是一种多功能紊乱的败血症症候
——城市的富裕与乡村的野心交合的产物
他们哭求不同的诊断，却没有医生，没有呼吸机
没人问过我
从格子窗
我观看那命中注定且将失去的每一天
在右臂上初爱的名字
从宿醉中醒来
带着年轻母亲的柔情
晚上放荡的行为
因为醉酒
因为烛光里的性爱
数年的梦 从指间消散
带着尘灰 与油腻
他的梦呓
过量使用麻醉剂扭曲的脸庞，命定失败者的微笑，男孩们的躁动
眼下散发着病毒的气味
他们挪走灯台，与阴影同住
隔离的形象
燃烧，埋葬，浮萍般的死尸
我快死了
没有人问问我，最后的愿望
福音
不要质疑嘴唇
使舌头干瘪
舔着嘴巴里最后的湿润
快乐的奥秘
生的预言
因咸的吞咽
作新的比喻
面具还活着
再来一次福音
