GOD TOO DOZES

It was too late
I realized
long after his passing
I still prayed for my father

God didn't answer

my prayers had become mechanical
like sex
ejaculation without orgasm
and pilled sleep.

The itch prevails.
The tags in the mind
don't respond

absent memories
confused faith:
forgetting
faster than remembering

in moments of lapses
God too dozes

--R.K.Singh

FISH

looks for fish
a siberian crane
in a lotus pond

SILENCE

He sits face down
breathing deep
after prayers
runs out:

anguished silence
& trapped thinking
is no yoga:

he poaches dream
& love with wife

--R.K.SINGH
