*a night ticks next to the green paint box *
*the lights are glowing*
*small boat's sink*
*as stars rise fall fall fall rise again*
*your eyes are Canadian blue*
*the fireflies take the sky*
*waikaremoana comes to mind*
*we sit at the edge of wild jungles*
*outside an old school library*
*the **midnight** biker is scaring us*
*you pick up your packed bags*
*Anglicans are home tonight and emma long gone from*
*Parnell Henderson Waterview*
*no one has to die tonight*
old men ride bikes
lavina's father came home
large hearts none understood
he consented after looking at plumbing
and black titanic that bhavin loved
the names are gone michelle
the names are gone
love surrendersrunning runninga handshake samoana night unevencity lakes hillsocean windsno sleep drizzles KepburnHorrid love cat stinksbad courses lead homea fresh airport calls my name
indigenous pigeon
in a night burnt by freezing moonlight
and stars wannabe for attention
icy lake’s Christchurch hands
eternal love
and a little terrorism
in an old inn that asterix would love
scorched by sun
froze by lake
twisted the snakes
and a waterfalls with million specks
of Maori history
jail house rocks the blunt Indian curry
and a tanned face is eternal love
and the night that stared through an open gazebo
tiger
tiger
burns bright
in forest nights
at gmail and yahoo
slights and sparrows
pigeons and peacocks
a rustling fire in your Spanish eyes
a kiss on your maori lips
damp wood cries with cat poodles
a falling house in a wind starved city
the rain sweats sits and dies
pakistan burns
wellington bleeds
hamilton sweats
india sleeps
us gets a pint from iraq
your mormon face smiles
decide to take a walk
down the darker streets
Bombay mosques and the debris,
Muslim side. lights Ramadan
Bombay Mutton Masala, Fish Tandoori, Chicken Biryani….
VEGAN Police guns AK47s. drugs and
Payal’s chicken masala
the green blue bathroom where we kids blocked the water to make it a bath\
the time when yashi brought wada from churchgate
and we had to pass time to see amar akbar Anthony
and superman two and buying stuff from cheaper by dozen at elco
and the streets of colaba facing Arabian sea
the day when we threw water balloons and pale-fulls on girls
when we bought a gun in a pink pack for Rs 12
the cycle race at juhu beach just cousins
the first bharat TV that showed Santa Kookdee
Killbill and the phase
when Krishna terrace was the love joint
yes been there done that
behind the tank
its late night
and the papal tree hides
moonlight
we jump on black rusty ladder
water tank cement cave after treasure island
crime wave in mawiton
sardar’s khota scooter
bony’s car
natalie’s short shorts
jessy’s alive laughter (those were the days)
before she died we climbed mango trees
on summer afternoons
and freeman and pankaj were kind to me
with pepsi
and video games
*is a school butterfly that sings jailhouse rock* *
misses abyss carved out of stones* *
catches helicopter fly* *
a tadpole that thinks it's a fish*
*and all algebra sums are right
but proofs are impossible
and Natalie sheth's classic crush
tall in 83*
*waikato grass got that look on a hot morn
cows are in the field and bells on crosses
a beanie keeps me warm tonight*
*cool
cool
Canada*
*is **canada** dry
Wellington softly goes home*
