Get up late, doze half of a day.
Set up then a corner to pray.
Slowly alight the worldly steps.
...
("Abu shafshufa" is dead and china is dead silent)
As raggedy women line up for rice.
A scraggly head is killed by mice.
...
I abhor to be all alone by myself
an old bottle stood on the shelf
Me my swooning soul all alone
...
Thousand ripples on the body of Nile.
Eager eyes scarce rest a while.
Slowly meanders and circles around.
...
Shishi and I, just draped our doll,
Giggling, in the shade of a sacred scroll.
Stood by the well and eyed us long,
...
A lover's delight and everyone's dream
That leaves in eyes a twinkling realm
My land is the land of melodic themes
...
Marshal's epaulettes now traded for suits.
And Itallian shoes for mil-issue boots.
Eyeing with disdain our forgotten roots.
...
I was the proverbial busy bee
Up in the attic down on my knee
Brush the piano feed the hare.
...
Pointing dishes at galactic streams.
Sighing stars, echo faintly screams.
Deep in vistas amid glimmering clouds,
...
Shaded winding ways an streams
Humming brook brims an beams
Filtered light in misty shafts
...
