Nehru Nelson

three poems
 

     

         hear, see

 

           in the ear

                    of the behearer

           is an eye

                         that dips

           its lash

                     into the waves

                                    and

                                 splats

           upon the canvas

                           of the soul

           strokes

                           like thumps

           upon a drum
