Evening of October 21, 2023


warplanes roar

between the gap

the buzz of escape

The Social Contract Theory of Haunting


Haunt my other mood, Goodness.

Haunt the dark side of the pool, Moon.

Tonight ghosts desire silence played in loops,

fireflies patch a pale pigment together

midst the sink of moonlight.

Haunt my melancholy, Coffee beans, albeit

I possess no power to roast, grind or brew.

~Kushal Poddar



tapped for lines

 

i do not belong

to a recognizable

 

religious group

 

yet strongly believe

confession is important

 

when recommending a good beer.

Campaign season:

the candidates seemed smart enough for office,

though not intelligent enough to have a real job

Out of Order:

the bureaucrat responded to the update

before he responded to the original email
