They say
It’s a secret.
Wind steals a way
Under the knotty tree,
...
They killed me instantly
Naked
Primitively bloody:
The dhol dragged me out
...
(No wound to heal Time
I’m in safe hand!)
Be that light for me
I can bathe in
...
Today I'm fasting.
I won't take:
Messages from friends,
Their roasted heartbeats
...
I listen to your tiptoe
In the silence of night
Winds sing to you
And my heart
...
Stop!
And wrap the heart with a sigh
Try if it could be chucklesome
And garish:
...
Flickering fire
Hides itself
In the sparkling eyes of
A damsel-
...
A pox on your hospitality!
My friend is a friend
And let him remain one.
Let our alliance run
...
Wrapped in polished khaddar
Wherever he moves
-That smelly thing-
...
