POEMS: Existence

block
-Papel Kumar Shaha
Nature of fire-overtop,
Nature of river-underneath,
Either I’ll be fire or river
And go on with my breath.

Fire has elegiac annihilation,
River has basinal,
Fire and river tell me
There is rise and fall.

Let me know your intention,
I’m so afraid!
Fire! You’re flame retardant,
River! Your kiss-curl fret.

Fire saying, don’t fear
I do also create,
River saying, be aware
My island you will meet.

Fragmentary fabrication in the prime
Why is the reverence!
You’ll be buried in time
Never forget your presence.

The world is not like you!
The world you are
Do chromatic yourself
You have to go far.
