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
