Pigeons flying
for shelter through smoke
blazing windows

FULL MOON

Full moon waves
through the branches at window--
wintry night

--R.K.SINGH

ALONE

Alone
over a whisky--
Nanak's birthday

DYING SEEDS

58 ends:
emptying dying seeds
from the condom


--R.K.SINGH

CRACKS

With cold tea
digging memory:
bractal cracks

--R.K.SINGH

READING HAIKU

Sweet scent of nightqueen--
reading a hundred haiku
for one real gem

KAMAKHYA

Nothing turns me on
in aloneness self-rape
is no eros:
the blue hill hides the seed
in the sex of goddess

I can't awaken
nor can I rise from the ash
to be my real self
I am still lost in meanness
no third eye could locate


--R.K.SINGH
