DEAD OR ALIVE
My shrinking body
even if I donate
what's there for research?
devil in the spine
abusing tongue in sleep
or bleeding anus
defy all prayers
on bed or in temple –
the same heresy
oozing and stinking
onanist excursion
dead or alive
- R/K. Singh, 2013
CLAY DREAMS
They make my face
ugly in my own sight
what shall I see in the mirror?
there is no beauty
or holiness left
in the naked nation:
the streams flow dark
and the hinges of doors moan
politics of corruption
I weep for its names
and the faces they deface
with clay dreams
- R.K. Singh, 2013
