Twelve Monostich Poems by Inam Hussain Begg Mullick







12 Monostich Poems

 

 

Summer water echoes seabirds in flight

 

 

Miracular crab stargaze woke the night's cadence

 

 

My bride is the eagle dawn.

 

 

Electric twilight. Your body is a highland breeze.

 

 

The forest is a hymn. I speak to the splendiferous night betwixt your collarbones.

 

 

My youth — spent among poems, marijuana, neurotic beauties and their supernatural armpits.

 

 

Sunflowers bloom in my spine. Larks nitro alchemy.

 

 

Some things are lost and found—and lost again, forever.

 

 

Moonlit whales. Language pulse brown.

 

 

Mammoths robots nightingales January

 

 

Night comes down in a bulletproof attire. Pour fire, fondness and nectar.

 

 

Rifles rosewater the nestled galaxy is quiet tonight acrobatic razorblade
