From my windows
I saw a snake
It was slipping around unnoticed
in poetry marathon pages
it was looking for my neck
to constrict my free speech
but i outflew it
and landed right in middle
making more trouble
than a snake or even monkey
they want to give me a name
make memes out of it
and memorabilise
my entry and exit
This window seat
gives me the vantage
to enjoy the view
and laugh along
till
I shut it close
and storms in tea-cups
seem mild
compared to howling winds
in tunnels of ears
whoooo, whooooosh,
shhh, shhhhh, shhhhhhh
is it the sea receding
or the sea-shells on benaulim beach singing
Through my window I spy
you under umbrellas yellow and blue
competing
using what i wrote
to gain green cards
but forgetting
it is an artificial sea bowl
the man in the ship on the other side
is the time-keeper
He is useless
when it comes to gaurding the coast
he’s let in
the dark crows who see it all
with red raven eyes
I like the metaphor of the snake!
