Inferno Poem by Aloke Mukherjee

I want to burn me, set me up on the pyre
Devour me with vengeance, set me up ablaze,
The holy fire, burn my legs, my hands which is
Grimy with sins of unlove, spill over to my crotch
To burn my progeny of lovelessness, come deeper,
Lick me with your tongue, let the flames into
Cerebellum, delete one thousand gigabyte there.

Save only my two eyes to see the face of laughing
Child, to see beautiful hills and dales, to see the
Dream to be. Save only my two eyes to shed enough
Tears to wash away the dirt, then burn them to ashes
To save the roses from inferno, to blush alone on the pyre.
