ROMANCE
-
Ram
Krishna Singh (India)
Where
is room for sublime
in
Trump-Modi era
if
we talk about
grief,
trauma, social justice
liberation,
health, job
happiness
in a culture
of
divide and rule through
rightward
extremism?
comics
of history
in
lanes and bylanes
search
lingams for new world
threat
murals of mutiny
recreating
new forms
unearthly
light and space
in
old tales sacred for
visions
of heritage
I
don’t share their tangerine
nor
stream in their landscape
even
if I’m consumed
in
blankness of fire or flood
