By Being Ardhanarishwara I Trying To Taste Ram Krishna Singh’s Poetry Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

People often talk about sex and sexual dreams
As did they Vatsyayana, Freud, Lawrence, Rajneesh,
Judith Wright, Anne Sexton and Kamala Das,
But want I see R.K.Singh’s poetry
From a different angle
Unsexing, desexing the readerly self
As the transgenders do,
Dance the eunuchs.

Shiva as Ardhanarishwara, in a half-male, half-female,
Half-masculine, half-feminine form
Blessing with the hands held aloft
As the eunuchs emulate it
After making the newly-borns dance
As per the ritual
So want I to read him.
