Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
A little
water
falls.
Is hunger
only automatic
appetite?
The ancient customs of a gracious people
Listen to the window be
Cause you can see through it
Orange suns chain across the sky
Sound a brake followed nothing it’s flower withers between ninety-two cobblestones.
the glance is filtered in the plaited reflection of glass buildings
That is why uprooted fields meandered in the midst of roads
Nothing is left but the pyramids.
How heavy the stones of the pyramids are!
I cannot tell you when, where
in what city or time
I saw this crime.
