Rakesh looking poor on bicycle pedalled path^
years narrowed . home to heart frugality ‘n’ ease.
At Getting late! Come, take off yuh clothes
his give^care Leela force of habit chafes.

On delivery by Admin feed bag holders watch
hips of public snatch^catch sway, lips sip
fermented soup | fluffier ducks precentre trough
bills side ways in.
…………..

Wilder country road upskilling . left hand
pocket coin bare so , next thing yuh know the candle
meter expire | sprinkle holy water, ol’ pipe squirt;
pray Birth Controllers up there can explain.

Shacks on No Man’s land not waiting for out^
house contract < word bypassers with cellphone
+ so far 2.3K page visits.
……………

From New York ‘im come back in one state –
say tracks divide to ice or hell; no money? moon
walk sun turn run | say ‘im miss mi nest
egg lay. Is certified ‘im certified now.

For Melodie who kneads.wraps.vends. cow^

YUH RAP SO (7.1)

We suffer too slowly – but what’s the hurry? –
we suffer pretending there is nothing worth
suffering for – not even Love whose ending
is prefigured in its start – not even peace
whose price is set as the last and the next war
hovering above it all now i recall
that Mikado song about the pure hauteur
of the Sun and Moon unapologetic
about their worth

(from Limboa, a sentimental album
by Brian Chan . 2023)
