[ Two Haikus and One Poem ] [ By R K Singh ]

TWO HAIKUS AND ONE POEM
Dr R K SINGH,
Indian School of Mines
Dhanbad 826004 India
HAIKU
1. So much night
around the street light
no one's safe
2. Welcoming the sun
dewdrops on dry leaves
an epitaph
3. Filling
emptiness of the room
with ikebana
4. After the quake
a dog sniffing
his master's presence
in the rubble
5. Through the long shadows
in the morning remembering
gradual death
POEM
The sky frightens with lightning and rain
raises neither fire nor quenches the earth
I've lost a chance to create despite ritual
end of the day and her parting with a kiss
now sulking with a glass in the dark
it's stupid to talk about nirvana
HAIKU
1. Desire for diamond
dies with price I can't afford:
curse astrologer
2. Each sun aggravates
sadness moment by moment:
watching lonely street
3. Wish I could be part
of the quietude this morning
the sun's so promising
4. Basking in the past
they grow backward and yet talk
about the future
5. Meeting her once and
so much love in one night
to last the whole life
6. Narrowly escape
the midair web of spider
perched on hibiscus
7. Night after night
the same 'yes' and 'no' in bed
sleep in frustration
8. Such a wild change
in the mirror beside her--
I look a stranger
9. Two toads croaking
in the drain celebrate
sudden shower
10. After extraction
he gives me my old tooth
list of drugs and new bill
