LET
THEM LIVE
- Ram Krishna Singh (India)
There’s no room for politicians’ sordid game
in the dark or
light of kitchen or bedroom
what happens there stays there—lovers’ spreadsheet
fucking sounds is music too to arouse
the soul in pleasure, sucking bodies
in sweet perfume of sweat and spices
go well with memories of ecstasy
let them live their dreams wihout fear of what
others might think, when they embrace all their parts
in curves, figures, equations and text
and raise their own temples and mosques
