One Act Play | Ramesh Kaul

My pain is a one act play
in my life’s endless stage,
a web of emotions
its setting;
there is no beginning
no end,
none to laugh
and no one to cry.

The props on the stage
are my losing hopes,
and waning desires
riding a rusted cart;
moving along
a barren path,
in lights dim
like my silent pain.

I knew what not to write
but did not know
what I should,
I gave a beginning
to the act,
but do not know
how to give an end.

Dreams | J.K. Durick

Even on the nights he heard planes overhead, flying too low
Even the nights he heard sirens, so many sirens coming nearer and
nearer
Even the nights he heard bombing, sometimes in the distance, sometimes nearby
Even the nights he heard his parents arguing about leaving, staying
Even on the nights he heard people running in the street, screaming, crying
Even the nights he heard shooting, going from house to house
Even on those nights he had really bad dreams.
