Helluva: A POEM
Helluva: A POEM
I saw the one-eyed mosquito
It forked its dessert on my body
In the dark evening of a happy night
The flies were merry
They intercoursed on my leather bag
As I watched in awe through the broken mirror
The mountain of cashew is in the oven
Splatter is the sound of the scattered shit
Tell the watchman of the silent cry
The wetting of the cheeks with hot tear
The story that shocks the mind
Deserted!
My soul is inflamed; burning like fuel on fire
Guts whipped like the back of a shrew
Thoughts gathered like the gathering of soldier ants
The fire of my zeal have burned out
Smack me with your stinking breathe
Let the fart spill in my open mouth
Feed me a bucket of faeces
Dump me in the river of urine
Dusted!
Tell me,
What purpose is smiling in suffering?
Whisper to the cockroach
Tell him, I want out
For bad is the good of these days;
Life is a shameful gamble
The toy thing of the gods
Helluva!
