Memes

Your past

Monogrammed by memes

Will utter

In thought and gesture

Your lies and manipulation.

My present

Fractured by your past

Will meme

In speech and deed

My retribution.

Sequela

After the rains stopped came the sun

The rain kissed earth let go of the memory

In feverish vapours.

The dianthus sat up

On the wet flower bed

And shook from her languid limbs

The earthy passion of the night before.

A brilliant raceme of laburnum

Lay broken on the wayside

The pendulous sun shot its florets

At the upstart.

Attraction

You don’t have to do a reconnaissance of me

When I have nothing to brave you with.

A Life Too Real

In the midst of this and that
Should you live a life of wish,
Take care that you do not make for yourself
A life too real to leave
Without pain and a pull at your heartstrings.

God

My God is the dark matter
That binds and contains
An ever conflagrating universe.

In a whir

The blades of a fan moved in a whir

Underneath I sat

No less in a whir

Someone got up and switched off the fan

I continued in the whir.

That I may grow into a tree

Give me a plant to breathe

That I may grow into a tree

And from then on meet the sun and the skies

While being rooted firmly within.
