IMAGE OF EARTH AND QUILL

Guest Poet Pradeep N. Mane



surya dev 

furnace eye in the chlorinated pool blue sky. 
hearth faraway for million chills. 
hell in some geography. 

anti-jaundice warmth on my baby's back; 
vitamin d in these tropic malnutrition. 
fallen 
a catalyst for handheld lovers. 

blindingly mighty. 
lord of the leash 
9 courtiers and the x. 
rests in neptune's warm bed, 

rises from 
    behind dried bars of  starved brambles. 
and for all the arrogance 
obliterated by soft rain.


September, 1999
