Tanka – Ram Krishna Singh 

 

a tidal wave
touches the shore to wipe
my naked footprints
and leaves behind some shells
pebbles and memories

 

 

awaiting the wave
that’ll wash away empty hours
and endless longing
in this dead silence at sea
I pull down chunks of sky

 

 

crazy these people
don’t know how to go
down with the swirl and
up with the whirl but
play in the raging water
