Poems
by Kushal Poddar
Antibiotic
On my wrist nothingness flies in
and clutches the roundness with
its tired hunger
(Whose skull is moon tonight?)or its claws or whatever.
The street runs to one apothecary;
two nevermen carry
a conversation whose text is touched by quietus.
(Knife of a cloud dissects the sky.)I step inside the odor of the antibiotic and sin.
To fix your waning aura I must become an assassin.
Insects
On the night-sky-breasts
your attics head
remains alight to learn how to be fed
on the twilights lactation and survive.Here exists no noise except
the exceptions accepted
trees, honking in the lane, crickets.And you forge a cave with your right hand
on your left palm where your resurrect
an insect becoming winter.
