Poems by Merlin Flower

Echo


 

There’s a frog in the bathroom

green yellow and sporty

his appearance coincide with the evenings

when the aplenty mosquitoes and flies

are executed

Unscared of me,

he hops, regularly toppling the

bottles of shampoo, conditioner,

liquid soaps and moisturizers

when you said no,

he was in the bathroom

relentlessly moving his mouth

without opening his lips.

The frog in the bathroom has

disappeared

leaving behind a sword like

blackish brown turd

his, or of the snake that ate him?

Mandhodhari’s

forehead touched mine transferring a

mildly scorching heat, while her hand

gifted me a flame of the forest

A ray of the sun fell on two of its petals.

I looked at her

Habitually rambly Mandhodhari, wasn’t

anywhere. The one before me

with a crackdown of smile on her lips

stared while shedding her clothes.

After two second she climbed

as if flying

to stand on the windowsill.

Under the pulsating light

The rays fell on her in total.

My kisses overthrew a few.
