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.
light is the ocher color of earth
when the storm ends lovely.
perhaps the dogs will reign
and calculators make abortions an abomination.
Moonset at sunrise, the mind
dividing between them. The teeth
of the young sun sink through the breast of the cloud.
Scourging the sea with rods
To punish it for what it has engulfed.
Or running naked with your bronzed friend
Scourging the sea with rods
To punish it for what it has engulfed.
Or running naked with your bronzed friend
The arrow pointing three directions
Is a looser, more open form of display,
More like the subsidiary decor
They close the factory
They close the school
They point with fear
When I was regional
they let me have hands
If you put one leg
ahead of your body
balance on it and swing
When I was a child
I brushed as a child
which is to say often
