Alok, Alok Alok…teasing.

As we prepare the summer issue for a late launch, you need to get ready.  Here is a sampler from work by Alok Bhardwaj.

1.

I tried to save
Prostitutes
Drunks
Bored Couples
Fallen Women
Satan Worshippers
Abandoned Children
Homeless Derelicts
Abused Men
Abused Women
And so many others
Without very much luck
I got tipsy with the drunks
I failed to charm prostitutes with love poetry
Out of politeness I invoked demonic spirits
Talking up life’s adventure I drove spouses from boredom to adultery

 

Check out the rest of this poem and other works by Alok.  Coming soon.
