Dr Rony Nair

Startup Stands

No stops pave the way,

no electric pews,

no junk fishponds yonder,

or pewters that spew

the muck around.

shit masquerading

in romantic hues.

And all that remains is me.

Far away.

In need. Clingy. Alone.

Tainted. Division lines all drawn up

In Foil. In folly.

wrapped

in guilt and verisimilitude

And you’ve moved on.

To the next big cause

the next mother Teresa hue.
  

You Told me Once…

The refuse and the scarecrows and

the ponds that you crop

in a digital reel,

plays itself out. Its own tailpiece.

before we drop and we try

to tear ourselves anew,

you bite my neck and

draw blood/ and then talk about

those empty hands/those far sky banks!

Embedded.

Far away.
