I see these mountains of simple folk descend on me, these glowing orbs of feminine spirits rush down like a marching army to strike me with wonder, If this was an empowerment between us, O Motherhood(!) of ancestral women blowing through an emancipating wind a magic glow, like a heraldry that shouts the indispensability ofContinue reading “On the inspiring, illuminating apparition of all those beautiful Goan women: A poem”

You and me, we are like trees, barely touching, but full of our embrace!

You know, I adulated Hercules, untill I learnt he killed lions and mythic heroes know more difficultyContinue reading “You know James Joyce, I have Ulysses (Odysamoi) written all over me!: A poem”

I was angry over my brandy yesterday till the dark blue sky clothed me with its means of subsidence. I woke up with the same old grace, ready to apologise for my impromptu impatience. A friend told me it was lucky I didn’t kill, because I have such a fine mind. You know, I didn’tContinue reading “What is conformism? What is crime? And what is contravention?: A poem”
