Malim Nawar Morning

surreal hummingbird morning

garden papaya drips dew

kingfishers flash blue against candyfloss skies.



Judy Collins sings of Chelsea

warming chill of jeep cabin

softening hard pangolin killing road

three cat stooges in compound.



warming sun

bougainvillea bright

golden helliconia, jasmine

mangy, mangled one-eyed thief in kitchen stealing fish.



brighter hotter morning

sky cleared to pale blue

sun pounding grass to… Continue

Indian mesmer

In the sweet balminess of an English summer, sky blue, air clear and sun gentle, condescendingly English bees sought to weave their pollen laden ways in and out of the Bajaj’s turmeric and kohl structure, oblivious to its stark anomaly.



Tiny hunter spiders, unaware of the surreality of their situation, spun their delicate webs hoping to catch peculiarly English flies in the Indian-ess of the rickshaw’s interior.



On a nearby wooden post a solo majestic magpie preened… Continue

remembering whiteness

Equatorial sun bright, dazzling, burning down on the glass-fibre 4x4 cabin, listening to Quicksilver Messenger Service squeezed into MP3 in my wannabee Jeep, travelling the same roads his father must have taken back then, back in the year he was born, the identical roads he would have travelled many years later to visit the grave of his father left dying in that year, gunned down by insurgents in the Emergency, a bullet finding its mark leaving him fatherless to grow, rebel, drag me into Mann’s… Continue

Just so Many Map Pins

Am I the only one left in the first world who doesn't know how to do something as simple as post

a poem on at a site such as this [wonderful] one?? Finally decided to post it as a "blog." [Signed, 'Duh']





Just so Many Map Pins





The refugees, with their barrows of ragged quilts,

yellowed and cracked photographs, and the few

clothes they could fit in. Maybe a pot or a skillet.

Babies and children too small to walk, they carry.

Others' short legs… Continue

Literary Movements and the 7th Anniversary of Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance





My long-term romance with the idea that literary movements define and bookmark significant heroic moments in cultural history began long before I understood who or what had stolen my heart. Yet it seems to have been there for at least as long as long as…

The Not-So-Jolly Roger

[image]



Not so very long ago, in a galaxy very, very close to here, lived a people

called the Chumbawambas. The Chumbawambas lived in Chumbaland, where

they lived by farming the hard and stony soil.





Now, the Chumbawambas lived in a world where the Grand Imperium ruled; and one of

the great roads of the Grand Imperium ran right past Chumabaland, and

the traffic on that road was heavy indeed.





One day a curse fell upon…

Knights of the Air?

It's one of those

images anyone remotely interested in aviation or military history will

have somewhere in the back of his or her mind: those days of the Great

War, foggy mornings in France or Belgium, and the dawn patrol, brightly

coloured little cloth-wire-and-stick aircraft roaring into the skies.



And what aircraft they were! Sopwith Camels and S E 5a's, Fokker DVIIs

and Albatros IIIs, SPADs and Nieuports, aircraft that were never…

Stoned!

This

used to happen rather often when I was a pre-school child, maybe about

once a month: I'd begin to get a strange sensation under my tongue. It

was a sensation as of something pushing out from inside, as though the

floor of my mouth was imprisoning something that was trying to be free.

This sensation would increase steadily, never quite reaching the point

of pain, but getting close. And…

Will plate tectonics feed you?

Or, is it better to be poor and knowledgeable or an illiterate billionaire?



I’m sure you all must have come across these characters who love to jeer at

anything approaching the search for knowledge for its own sake. I’ve

been told that anyone doing pure research is “jobless” and their efforts

are useless because nobody can make money out of it.



Back in the days when I still used to go on chat, in a…

The Moon

 








The moon is a goodess who opens her eyes at night,
as the sun,
it takes reprieve,
and hides us from it's golden hued sight.
The moon is worshipped by the totem of the owl,
as nocturnal lights come to life in the form of firelies,
and the sweet lunacy of the moon,
it falls upon us in curtains purest pearly white light.
I…
