In Silence I Hear A Rap Poem by Aneek Chatterjee

In silence I hear
a rap, - -
your perspiration

In silence, my lips
search for a pair
of pink flowers
in your face

In darkness,
I am struck by lightning
when your fingers
play guitar on my body
The music summons lightning,
ignites a terrible fire.
And in darkness
I pray for rains

Everyday I walk in a jungle
called a workplace
seconds, minutes, hours
are too precious
here; in this urban forest
I search for a tunnel to escape, - -


your open inviting mouth.
