Because I am a Heart Bender
And then I seek for my face.
An eel, also lost its way when finding where the water narrows,
coils my body as if to suffocate me
or make love to me
or transmit its power to me.
The electrocution: I fear you
when you want to see all the elements of my heart.

The bird that beseeched the prison
In a night
that was filled with
silence and rain
the hunters reached the nest
and captured that bird.
For them......

I am not a Sri Lankan
For crossing passages
I have a visa
as Israelis passport
in the hands of Palestinians.
For going past the ‘Checkpoints
I possess an identity card

Being Free from Narcissus
That night,
Narcissus left his last kiss on my forehead,
like Anna Sergeyevna kissed Bazarov
Sensual pleasures are like a butcher’s knife
and a chopping block.

The Killing of Shambukas*
Jim Crow segregated hostel rooms.
Ceiling fans bear a strange fruit,
Blood on the books
and blood on the papers,
Black body swinging in mute silence,
Strange fruit hanging from tridents.

The Small Cell
His silver and gold are corroded.
His lungs beget a fungus .
I was a neglected sperm; this Small Cell, already a cell
which makes his alveoli become the galls in a dried leaf,
