Suniti Namjoshi ...poem excerpts

Theres sunshine in the garden

there are flowers in the hall

at your gate a lovesick beast

is breaking down the wall...

from poem ~ Courtship

Why did you make a hole in the sky,
Breaking the backdrop of placid blue days?
The black crow are flapping wildly in my head
While the blue air has closed about your absence.
from poem ~ In Three Tenses
