Ten Monostich Poems by Inam Hussain Begg Mullick  

 

 

 

 

All the world is a large grenade.

 

 

•

 

 

From chaos to reason. Chaos to birth.

  

 

•

 

 

All the corpses of Palestine gather inside my body. Together, we dream. The dead dream a lot.

  

 

•

 

 

Blood howl hollyhocks freedom mayhem home

 

 

•

 

 

Philosophers wind ecstasy darkness door monsoon passion hyacinths touch

  

 

•

 

 

Forehead horses slowly comes forth the dawn alligator metals desire

  

 

•

 

 

Ivory inflorescence lunar signets her velvet name beeswax

 

 

•

 

 

Dahlias. Shakuntala watches the sunrise. Pulse supersolids flesh.

  

 

•

 

 

Ring-doves clench the city. Those at war, now embrace.

  

 

•

 

 

Archangelic theurgy we fly golden forests
