Night
For S.

Dense
as a song,
your body moves;
you become
the night’s breath,
your gaze now holds
the night’s fire.

Night Poetry by Inam Hussain Beg Mullick - Mahanagar

You touch
the mirror of miracles,
I desire your mind.
Supernatural trees fill the city.

The streets drip
eagles
and lunar jazz
among the everglow
of your arterial stories.

My body becomes a deer’s body.
My memory is a forest.

The tongue rots, the earth rots.
All is corrupted but you.
