Funeral Speech

once a dog
was pissing on a wall.
the wall fell on the dog
and it died.
alas! poor dog!
the last sacraments over,
all gathered around
the ground,
where the flames were hissing high,
and howled in high dudgeon:
'we must give an half-leg support
to boost our morales.'

Autographs-two

dear friends,
i am starting my journey;
the words wavered half in throats
were full of hopes....
the memories fly away to a far off place.
now i see
they were the throbs of the ages
which has no home-coming.
the rains drained
in the burnt out days,
when i've lent you my heart,
on my journey which has no return
to our memory.

was given a pat on the shoulder

buzzed and howled a swarm of flies
in the reddened eyes of a baby-cow.
they had made a meal of eyes
ere the flies were driven off by the wind.

the wind has fanned a mother who stews some tar
and an half-burnt baby too.
a blind man
who had scratched and scratched
and turned out insane,
stoned at the wind too.
