A Diwali in Delhi


the city on its knees, turns up its gaze
at a sky that's a funeral pyre ablaze
and through all the coughing and choking
wonders what the motherfuckers are smoking.

abhimanyu

a hero comes laughing into the world
his mouth is crying but his fist is curled.

ram cobain

dark

she nursed her hurt like a just-born child
gave it her breast heavy with poisons wild
raised it on a malevolent book of rage
with spiteful stories screaming page on page
she fed it venom and stuffed it with hate
and reared it grandly to an inevitable fate
she nursed her hurt till her hurt nursed her
and suckled her back from a milky blister
Till an abyss yawned dreamily as dark as coal
and gawped and grinned and gobbled her whole.
