Red Sea

I I feel the quake in my abdomen. The city crumbles over its abandoned lanes. II The million men army, The intruders on an island Cheat in the dark Slay the other and drip out. The dead men's sea Drops of holy white. Oozing cleft from the inner courtyards of the temple shrines. I My city, with its map less contours, spread like a dissected frog breathe heavily over passions fed. Kisses uprooted in the desert storm, By-lanes of her body fade in the sandbanks of he-sweat. Bosoms dissolve for the sprouting volcanoes that hiss venom For the life to be. III Passion is sin for this Adam and Eve A sin, rewarded With fruits of heaven. They are the perfect outcasts,  on earth spinning splendid in pageantry show of flesh and skin and copulation, invoking gods of sterility. I Yet, Its carnival bout and she is beautiful today drenched in her night rains of red sea. Droplets of rubies thrashing past her cities of crims

Father

I My mother asked me, not to smile. For, it betrayed him. His full length smile and childlike face. Primordial father he. Finger prints behind the curtains. Marbles hid in school uniform skirt blues. Memories dear and dusted. My father. Upon whom father, supposed domestic dishonored, called me a bastard. II Thus wrote she, years before. As/for me. Now glued. on to her darkness, within. A tiny peck yet to be confirmed.
