coiled up inside
she lies a rejected shroud
and he mounts up
with mind between the thighs
multiplying pain at night
![Page 3: Some New Tanka by R.K. Singh](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082511/547a2ce1b4af9f52728b4600/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
on the wall
the window grill's shadow:
midnight pain
overwhelming touches
indifferent after-taste

weaving no web
a dark fishing spider
mates in the creek
and curls up hanging from the twat
in one-shot deal

each night
peace is taken away
by my father's shrieks
and our useless effort
to calm down frayed worries

professors beware
intellectual success
lies in inventing
lies to conceal common truths
and sound holier-than-thou

the mirror swallowed
my footprints on the shore
I couldn't blame the waves
the geese kept flying over the head
the shadows kept moving afar

striving hard to feel
the image of spring again
the whole body blooms
love gently and silently
revives the final flame
![Page 9: Some New Tanka by R.K. Singh](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082511/547a2ce1b4af9f52728b4600/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
she gives him the push
when he says sex starving
is a greater sin
than fasting for his long life
or praying to the lingam

little candles fail
to illumine the deity
or golden dome
in the valley darkness reigns
and god too awaits light

shaped like a bird
a drop of water lands
on her breast:
my breath jumps to kiss it
before her pelvic flick
![Page 12: Some New Tanka by R.K. Singh](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082511/547a2ce1b4af9f52728b4600/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
age seems to stop
for a while in sexact
a running horse
erect and heavenly
white as a lightning

the mind creates
withdrawn to its own pleasures
a green thought
behind the banyan tree
behind the flickering lust
