“Don’t cry,” Janet Leigh.
Heard it walking down Long Path.
Rose did wink at me!

to three others said

things are topsy turvy

I’m floating on my head

don’t worry fishy

said the other three

as they let him drift

to the bottom of the sea

Cosmic Marriage

I looked up and saw a strange plumed sky

It was the day of eclipse

Moon comes in between earth and sun.

The queen of night in daylight to wed the fireball

They came in one line

The carola is the exchange of rings

A million diamonds reflected a million rays

Wow the world stood up

With anxiety to the wedding

A fraction all in a minute the process ended

It will repeat again and again

And our the enthusiasm fries the same

They are far away far away from each other

But have immense understanding!

Myself

I saw a shooting star fall gracefully

I saw a titanic rolling wave break majestically

I saw a fiery fountain

Of liquid lava sizzling down

All these prepare me

To lean into the oblivion.

Who is my companion?

My hopes and aspirations

After a brief interval

My despairs and depressions

They take turns and keep my company

Even on wide wide seas!

I’m free — as free as a butter fly

I grew up and embraced fear—religion

My fears yielded to new fears

I can’t shun them; they became my blood

I’m a bitter fly with my wings clipped!

I can’t fly but only hop and lose my balance.

Life by Janet Leigh

life can be like
slamming your face down
on a bed of nails!
