Our very own Rochelle Potkar will be reading tomorrow at the Cappuccino Readings @ Starbucks, Fort. One of her beautiful poems thats been longlisted for the Wordweavers Poetry Prize 2014. Do come to the reading tomorrow to listen to Rochelle read this and other poems by her - SWING The evening slips on a totem pole of silent bird song fragments breaking from epiphany as the hour swells the world, a ripening fruit pelting through windows, utensils in the kitchen, householders returning like spent machine guns from battle. The day turns dense with the pre-cum of dark, crank calls, doorbells, grocery deliveries, futile negotiations. dimmer from inside conversations The sun soiling the sky with a morphing moon The artery becoming a vein drying into a capillary Like love, memory plays a game Denied pathways and pushed further back with a feeling that something was taken away an old key from discarded lock. Thoughts running in babel tongues amok world news, reviews, with reality TV, canned laughter, recorded claps, scripted retorts, stock pictures, staged shows and glycerined eyes to keep from wilting and afloat on the ebb of one’s own sea bed. Breaking yet another day into sediments of a shrill alarm clock. (ackn: Wordweavers.in)
