Kumar Vikram Poems

Blessed are those
who can carry on eloquently
about how a dog crosses a street
and how the cutlery looks graciously
...

There is a man inside the tent
erected some distance away
from where we live.
He lives there
...

Images of joy
sneak out rather apologetically
from the drawings
of dancing squirrels
...

Viewed from the windows
of a fast-moving train,
the cables of electricity and telephone
...

A cat jumped
through the half-opened kitchen window,
knocking down in the process,
the steel-plate covering the milk in the pot.
...

When you blow off a candle
with your casually or strongly exhaled breath
many a time
you will notice
...

To Father
--
Sometimes you should pick up poetry
And read them aloud
...

Moulded out of an element
through a chilling process
it dissolves
gets melted down
...

On this perpetual stage of chaos
actors come and dance
deliver a line or two
sometimes rehearsed
...
