For Mj (The Shirt Upon The Chair With His Photograph And The Hat Kept Below) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The photograph of his
With the shirt upon the chair
With the hat
Kept below.

How the shadow following,
The footfall approaching, taking by strike,
The hysteria!

MJ,
MJ,
Michael,
Michael Jackson is coming,
Coming,
Michael, Michael Jackson, Jackson

Breaking the head from the bust,
The bust from the torso
And the limbs breaking,
Breaking
And he giving a break dance

With the thud,
The thud and the beat
Rounding and rollicking,
Dancing in rhythm
With the slipping boots
And the earth shaking below

Taking the people by strike,
Rollicking and rocking
With the thrill and beat,
Dance and romance.
