India
I ask God for rest,
summer within a lover's storm,
don't i feel blessed,
swinging dangerously,
with her raging metaphors,
the trouble start with me,
howling with tremendous zest,
her insults grow enormous,
I shudder at my breakfast,
she’s a lightning seed,
gives a thunderous performance,
audience at her own epiphany,
just before this Dejeuner fest,
music roars from her Beatbox,
her roars brook no digress,
I struggle to break free,
act like I'm not born
pour more black coffee,
like a Brechtian palimpest,
she hurtles to the door,
I pray he please arrest,
this unholy semaphore ?

Here's a thought for you,
do you note what comes first,
eaxh image in your view,
wish you'd never torn,
tongues from those who thirst,
beaten bodies broken forms,
your sugary tea like glue,
leaves little time for mirth,
to regard such terrored truth,
was it by the score,
you spouted lies well versed,
all of them wrung raw,
wonder if I let hate accrue
to place you in a hearse,
I'll leave history to choose,
I won't get lost forlorn,
neither run cursed,
not me without compass,
when monsters converse,

You wait on my duress,
take me as your creed,
say i am the best,
children left gone home,
cabin is all you need,
only crave the crown,
sobbing with your success,
power your basic greed,
across a wooden buttress,
my dreams echo in song,
wine dark in far seas,
an ocean's command,
we drink to excess,
all is lose to history.
pride has no redress,
bewitched by cortizone,
come lie at my feet,
spurned at the cock crow,
you won't see evening,

The love you gave away,
dissolved or flayed,
keeps hurt at bay,
lifts troubles to forgiveness,
don't let them reign,
skip Calendars or Catechism,
step free of certain games,
that cap your flame,
maintain hope to keep sane,
as for difficult questions,
wise not to tell tales,
hold your own inquests,
drunk as a weathervane,
spins over the plain,
you're part of this age
steam makes espresso's hiss,
sawdust cafe's swell with rain,
solace you no longer miss,
a City whispers your name.

Around a futile exercise yard,
try to guard your fears,
no need to spin them far,
light a path to heaven,
sail within the atmosphere,
inside this smoky hazy pen,
sew clothes for lonely spars,
know what's good for tears,
how to play your part,
it brings a strsnge presence,
to find everything that's here,
keep Junk at a distance,
fold a blanket beneath the stars,
pictures become suddenly clear,
dream of railway boxcars,
no need for quilted linen,
sunlight shifts on the pier,
liberty is there for asking,
your time is coming near.

Here's the question,
why on a secret phone,
behind a crushed request,
you endure whispers,
in hushed father's tone,
a tight but sore trespass,
the reason you’re like this,
flushed within your core,
to escape some hit list,
lemon bright with excuses,
say you've been honed,
to blow away insouciance,
your voice calls afresh,
no one wants to know,
a lonely time of penance,
you are careful of inquests,
face as blue as bone,
illicit daughter's cigarettes,
you smoke on your own.

There's no such release,
alone by the beach,
wondering who adores me,
wondering what to say
or searching how to be,
nothing here but trade,
I need to break free,
escape all these creeps,
forget my swollen feet,
where are the players,
eager to leave,
with me as their game,
ignore my rude testimony,
rejected offers please,
afford me some pity,
memories are La plage,
imaginings of the sea,
lemon blue by stages,
watch my epiphany.
