A Vision in a Waking State
©May 29th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
As the fan turned
The light shook on the glass jars
And liquid seemed to flicker
– Water it was, not liquor –
They did not spill their bright stars
Which coolly burned.
Movement that’s above me
Is not movement reflected ,
And it’s not movement,
Not an improvement.
Its shadow deflected
Is not reality,
But oh, it’s so much more
Alluring,
And makes the dark night floor
Reassuring.
While the light ‘neath the door
Loses mooring.
Come, says the light
Come, says the night.
Yes, I shall, I whisper
And the night turns crisper.

Strange Quark
©May 29th 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
It’s a strange quark of my nature
That interacts with my various
Flyaway particles, and is bound with them,
Making me stable, forcing me
To be seen, known, stay in one place
Not vanish in a trice,
Into a strange half-life,
Wondering whether to be
Or not to be.

Orderly
©May 29th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
I am not.
I wish I were.
I gaze, longingly
At the ladies I know
Who arrange and re-arrange
And I, stumbling around, deranged
Because neatness and I are at war,
Rail against the disorder around me,
Try all that arranging and re-arranging,
And feel trapped underneath the burden of it all
For chaos primeval rules my world eternally,
And all I can do is pull up the weeds as they spring up,
So my flowers and ferns and trees can rise up to meet the sky.
