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.
Driving through the mining counties
Green River to Central City
light of dawn like water
shadows rising to the surface
Now I am flying a land
compressed below me, a realm,
I alight and descend to:
Long Island as it was in the cold
Far below our lab
Two doom-planes are about to bump.
Mouth won
Because eye watched
in the swirling there is some meaning that draws me
without specific reference I’m saying to her vagina
Needled by the notion that a poet should know
reality
Sometimes I think I will be broken by your lukewarm Hand.
There will be ruin in unwelcome worldliness.
Someone knew
the importance of giving him a name.
Aromas of stone and
fire. Deranged singing
from the grindstone,
