memory lane

  One of my earliest poems that I really liked and stayed for awhile in my head. It's funny now but I still think its good. I don't know why...
   

Doorstep strays by the guava bearing trees

Flayed wooden branches, emptied to its sleep

This love began only without a fruit

On the ring of coarse and grated cheese.

With non-seeded beans, Italians will quiver

Salted banana ricecakes turn the radios over

When it hums, the cockroach fills its hunger

What happened when it began

Lamp posts, they do not flicker anymore

Not even on the evening joint rides

rarely seen by the eyes

They’ve hidden them, those gems they will cry

What happened when it lasted

Nothing left, no goodbyes

Bathroom corners, the smoking pots

No fun left behind,

I love too you know.

In This Unopened Letter, I

  “Church had always been like a field of poppies, one day it would wake mid-bloom and tell the Sun to move on. In the nab of thunder, nimble clouds would swarm in the sky, in little islands, to call the day of rain. Soon my window sill would be full of water and days will last in slumber.”  It is important, that in homilies, one must make haste to write of what may stray on one’s mind. This brief sensibility may have been why I had found myself to you, Iris. When you said that what makes us cry in music is when melancholy collides with specificity, at the time I had thought I understood you fully, that in all odds, we were a half of a half, that we shared the same kind of sadness.  I remember you wearing that dress, the one I wanted at Kaash’s, I still want to know what you meant, when I had gone with you that night and we were drenched from head to toe. Had I been upset differently, would you have smiled when you said those words? Would you have brought me to a quieter ...
