Five Poems
M Sarki

Pakistan

On the last day
his jaw dropped.

His face conceded.

But he did not
look dreadful,
merely paused.

Was he on the
verge of
something?


Hastening to Make Waste

In the moonlight
she is vigorous.
Her flesh

attends to
the weight of
her marriage.

The three of us
collide. What
astounding

wreckage.


Drowning in the Icy Waters Offshore

I threw the
arm of Fellows
by her dar.

Made
a loud burst
in it.

Just imagine.

One dandy
motion,
and then,

things.


Ambit

You
just rest
your back

back on
the bed.
She will

drive.


My Phantom

Fact is,
you missed it.
The chance to
be

the very first
one
on your block
to see a real
poet

in action up
close.
The innocent
carpenter and

the sale of
his labor.
Those days of
sweat

now lost.
Constructions
of one too
many.

His
marriage
of
wrinkles.
And
lust. And fast

lunches of
foolish
pleasures.
The sadness

still to come.
