slept in desperate
yesterday night
in my dream
came the dethroned king
and asked me,
did you find
the lost toy
of your son?
same is here with me
the loss of the throne
to me and
for my son!

Fashion of Kathmandu Winter

three hours in the cotton
and four hours in the wool
the fashion of Kathmandu winter
makes everyone fool!

Thousand Tides

standing at the seashore
and looking at the moon
as his eyes go dry
a thousand tides come
from his remote pasts
to make them moist

Conflicts between close relatives

in nearby woods
jackals howling, and
dogs barking in my village
I remember
my scary childhood
those never-ending conflicts
between close relatives

repeating every evening
