Barren Paper

A pallid



sheet of paper


 


teases me


with its randy glare,


 


pellucid, parched


 and humid gaze of a widow

In Chitwan, youth entrepreneurs are producing paper from elepha...


craving for my poetic semen


to fill its womb.


 


Its wary eyes


expose suspicion


 


forged by


the calm of an empty street


 


and as persistent stains


from the wet cups and glasses


 


at the local tea stalls


in the narrow lanes of the Mangal Bazaar,


 


it has dappled my heart for life.


 


But barren paper,


who would whisper in your ears?


 


Hunger and poetry


cannot stay in the same hut.
