A tasteless man’s guide to insipid love

Both of them sat on a branch and preened themselves
while their past came back to haunt them near a knoll.
Keeping the truth from their unwitting friends they planned their escape
from so dreary a life in one of their tumbling moments.
The tasteless man who lived on Chinese dish
and fatuous questions
betook himself to writing madrigals
that taught people the doctrine of signatures .
A woman’s heart is the leaf of the banyan tree –
leathery and elliptical:
it flutters when fruit-eating birds arrive to get them dispersed
and it loses it glossy green colour when aerial prop roots come unheard.
A woman is the fog you discover on waking –
It dissipates inchmeal showing contours of desire and memory.
Unbeknownst to many a woman knows the primordial art of love
that has never been tried at any age and at any kind of slavery.
