Sample Poem:
 
The Heart on the Pavement
 
To Nabina
 
Ours is a country of poets who pen about war.
One bard told me once that nobody reads them.
I haven’t yet, and I remember him because
on the pavement lies the heart of the rain
removed from the firmament, pierced
with the shards and shrapnel of some yellow flowers.
A long intestine of the clouds hangs loose
in the blue. The pariah of the lane barks and howls.
I cast some crumbs at it. I have been carrying those
for long. Those have gone stale. The dog refuses.
A squadron of pigeons startle me. I turn and see
the heart’s evaporated. I breathe the heart.
I open my mouth and let it flow inside.
