FRAYED WORRIES

each night

peace is taken away

by my father's shrieks

and our useless effort

to calm down

our own frayed worries

Tower

mosque's dome
lower than mobile towers'
weaker god's signal

SILENCE

Flowers don't bloom
in tribute to
builders' apathy

the trees are dying:
they too know they'll be felled
or the heat will kill

the concrete rises
calamity too will rise
none talk the ruins they bring

--R.K.Singh
