  TWO HAIKUS AND ONE POEM

        Dr R K SINGH,
        Indian School of Mines
        Dhanbad 826004 India


                                                       HAIKU

  1. So much night
     around the street light
     no one's safe

  2. Welcoming the sun
     dewdrops on dry leaves
     an epitaph

  3. Filling
     emptiness of the room
     with ikebana

  4. After the quake
     a dog sniffing
     his master's presence
     in the rubble

  5. Through the long shadows
     in the morning remembering
     gradual death

                                                       POEM

The sky frightens with lightning and rain
raises neither fire nor quenches the earth

I've lost a chance to create despite ritual
end of the day and her parting with a kiss

now sulking with a glass in the dark
it's stupid to talk about nirvana

                                                       HAIKU

   1. Desire for diamond
      dies with price I can't afford:
      curse astrologer

   2. Each sun aggravates
      sadness moment by moment:
      watching lonely street

   3. Wish I could be part
      of the quietude this morning
      the sun's so promising

   4. Basking in the past
      they grow backward and yet talk
      about the future

   5. Meeting her once and
      so much love in one night
      to last the whole life

   6. Narrowly escape
      the midair web of spider
      perched on hibiscus

   7. Night after night
      the same 'yes' and 'no' in bed
      sleep in frustration

   8. Such a wild change
      in the mirror beside her--
      I look a stranger

   9. Two toads croaking
      in the drain celebrate
      sudden shower

  10. After extraction
      he gives me my old tooth
      list of drugs and new bill
