A Poet’s Struggles
(For Ahmed Maiwada)
I
(Traffic of a Night…)
I am a passage tonight
to the rhythms of crabs…
I sit buttock-deep on this hearth
to steam the whirlwinds of my eyes…
But lamps are etherized
on the lap-stands of this night,
and it is not the time for wax…
So ants can file out on trails
Rain drains can meet and kiss into flood
The speed of darkness may rise or rot.
It’s not the night for wax…
