East Bank Poetry

Ghazal Without Ambulance

The world fell from her embrace like a torn cocoon
                                                                                  in the splashing rain,
leaves blown against the carapace of joie de vivre,
                                                                                  the splashing rain

weave of wind and say, the watery smears of alphabet bloom,
glass-glued messages gaily wrapped, gray and shiny
                                                                                 in the splashing rain.

Inside, corridors where music flies from windows flung
open to the unrolled desert sky; parched promises hide
                                                                                in the splashing rain-

milled grains of the secrets she had kept. Thunder eviscerates cafés lining cloud-backed streets where black marble wept the serenity
                                                                               of splashing rain.

Soft clay prints mostly made of moss, dried kindle beneath the glaze's slow-baked sense of loss, flowing red as the
                                                                     mud-washed splashing rain.
