Mdantsane Shebeen

in a strangerlight
frequenting the lament
blues and greens stare in an orb
glass, skin and breath
touch quite ruthlessly
seizing proximity
darkness is a sworn
revelation
myths enter an orbit
of unsung desires

Poem and Watercolor by Amitabh Mitra

Mdantsane Again

and in some coral nights
i see you through panes
in an unblinking sky
stare thoughts in a traveling
glow
outside a mad man lurches
demands to be seen
his thoughts are purple
his voice guttural enduring
the window glass disappears
madantsane
echoes again
in some afterthoughts
of such coral nights.
