by Ram Krishna Singh
dusky backyard
crowded parrots’ shrieks
autumn onset
with weight of dews
tendrils of pea plants nutate:
breezy silence
reechy morning
driving on express way
old empty dreams
crowded streets
moving the years
wretched faces
with dim lamp
no new heaven or earth:
hiemal quietude
wiping his face
under the umbrella
an old man with books
a quick brush
with snake in the fence:
plucking flowers
painting the glow
in the green of forest
unseen fingers
