With Regard To Language Tilling At Arshi Nagar



when i lean
toward you
and when
i don't
both are
me
but who
do you love more?
the sugarcane farmers don't kiss after all
drowned in sugar cane sap
they do not wish to lose themselves.
the i before the kiss
and the i just after
reside so close
yet have not the two met,
has not one ever witnessed
the other's circus?
