A Demon Or A God Poem by Golaka Acharya

Wherever the body is
‘I’ get up hidden
run, fly or float
somewhere other I am.

From inside the knot;
the neck spits at a giraffe
eyes telescope
greed zooms in
I suck a lot many things
you never see; can’t see at all.

Envy the neighbor
kill the Alexanders
rape the virgins or a Cleophile
and philosophize
shinning like the sun.
Where you’re; there my body is
where you’re; I am not there;
I sit somewhere
like a God
away from all.
I stand somewhere
