Long Distance Runner Nearing Finish Line


Though you can’t make anything out yet, 
Near as the nearest phone booth, 
Someone’s making an emergency call.

Sleepwalker's Somniloquy


Don’t tell me 

Better to wake dreaming 
Than dream waking— 

I know. 


NB: It’s Vazambam's post number 1000 and time to express my thanks to all those who have been generous with their comments and/or silent presence over these past three-and-a-half years; this blog has brought me in touch with many tremendously gifted people I’d never have dreamed of meeting had I not started it and I’m grateful—just wanted you to know.

Out-of-the-box Thinking Straight from the Centaur's Mouth


What are you looking at, buster? It happens 
I was years ahead of my time so 
If you think you’re a forerunner, 
Sink your teeth into this— 

My head could’ve been a horse’s ass 
Just like yours, running backwards.

Late Winter Metamorphoses


This motionless old woman 
Looks like nothing so much 
As a lone black coat left on a bench. 

But she stirs 

As I approach and notice a grey blur 
Departing her left shoulder—a large locust 
Now fully airborne, heading I think, for the sun.

Raison D'ĂȘtre?


Because they are splendid 
Windbreakers, cypresses ring cemeteries— 
But that’s not the only reason 
They take our breath away.
