Among the poems included in “Songs of the Arrow” is “He Left”, published earlier online by Muse India:
He Left
The man who came for dinner
Brought
A thumb-sized pencil
Without
An eraser at the top
A gift.
‘I want to be what I feel,’ he said.
Spoons drummed plates.
Waste bin burped.
He never left.
‘I don’t like stars looking down on me,’ he said.
Posters on electric poles
Sirens in the mountains
Reporters at large
A pencil without a head.
