LIFE LESS BORING

It makes interesting
to be naughty for a while:

to wee at a lamp post
to peek at someone's privates

or doodle vulgar graffiti
on the desk or in the loo

say something mucky or ogle
after a chaser it's good

to be bad occasionally
living becomes less boring

ON THE BEACH

A cloud-eagle
curves to the haze
in the west
skimming the sail
on soundless sea

***

Watching the waves
with him she makes an angle
in contemplation:
green weed and white foam break
on the beach with falling mood

Poet translator Khalil Jomaa translates my #haiku into #Arabic:

looking for shade
under a shapeless cloud
a ragpicker

The wings of my thought
are too short to climb God's height
or blue deeps of peace:
I stand on the edge of
earth's physicality

I don't know how
the bones grow in the womb
still in darkness
the heartbeats pronounce
the balance of nature

DON'T CARE

Appearances cheat
so what?
I am what I am
all chance and choice
don't care if my voice
is misunderstood
they never cared
my silence too

candle lights dance in circle
welcome one more Diwali

No one knows
when the sun will be clouded
or when it will rain
in Ramdhura
women and weather match

the swagger in party
and the day long hangover
is no poetry

I feel the foggy rise
from the hills below
and smile at my granddaughter
saying, "It's stormy
let's get in."
