fish on the sand fish on the sand poetry of vihanga perera vihanga perera publications persons dated latest event updates momentary rain posted on june 4 2014 outside it was momentary rain but in our amalgam of flesh seeking flesh there were no grass or flowers receptive to the change in weather with a second s or two seconds pause to ascertain the sky break down in torrents we resume where unlocked lip locks desire in breathing into the other the insistent fire of love 2014 06 03 04 this entry was posted in cut by your toe and tagged nature poems rain poems vihanga perera the drizzle before the storm posted on april 19 2014 after two hours of pretencious company flimsy talk of radical art smoke rings exhaled like a steamer off course i stop by the status of the late minister of health and watch as from his head a crow perched regard me on a pause in his sad eyes he seems to say in a moment comes the unfurled barrage of short women carrying their umbrellas fussing as they splatter redundant drops of rain at your shoulder length cursing you as they brush past you for at rain time they all go mad insane the drizzle builds up and i see the clouds are thicker than i at first thought they were darkness spreads from end to end and when i turn back again to take a second good glance the ministerial crow has taken flight in the mildness of the soaking spirit i continue to walk towards the night it gathers in the weight with which it falls trickles down the sides of the spectacle arms down the hair mown head in what feels like the flush of a thousand toilets down the sides of the sides of the ears down the nose in a moment in a moment it has pelted you and you stroll on 2014 04 19 this entry was posted in reset clock and tagged asian poetry george e de silva

words that would give you comfort a shoulder to meander by though you confessed that it is over that you have really tried you already knew that it was all futile you remain with a sigh when he made you lose the child that you carried and walked away like a bear to a waterhole since you were already a mother and a fool married i made no attempts those wounds to console now you claim that it is all over that i m a vicious enough brute that doesn t pay any comfort attention when needed the most well what words can i administer in what way could one sooth one who scampers through the breeze to hug some ghost 2013 03 01 this entry was posted in reset clock and tagged asian poetry domestic violence female health sri lankan poetry vihanga perera soldier without a uniform posted on march 17

atm i had the money to be drawn 260 rupees he said is all he wants dark face eyes almost at the edge of tears money to fort i promised 13 rupees and i said it again he may have to supplicate his peers

this entry was posted in reset clock and tagged sri lanka soldiers vihanga perera emulating hurt posted on february 18 2014 when you are in need of me the most i am here on my own playing racquet games burning mosquitoes and midnight oil whispering to myself that you are alright close my eyes to feel the pain that you feel as it passes touching your bones your spine i recall watching as they moved from side to side the unassured world in your eyes mapping as they were a world stalled shaken just a spectator on the side like i have never been standing outside the reel watching minute after minute passing by comparing it with worlds bombed and blown of hurts that were not ones your own till on the morrow until we meet again i sigh that your expectations i bruised considered wisely but let down that on that train is where my overalls should be slow walking at you now 2014 02 17 this entry was posted in the age of the three and tagged elegies vihanga perera fascinated burnt man posted on january 25 2014 updated on january 25 2014 when you enter close the door return a call or when you walk past me or watch me sit the way you measure your molecules indicates that you think there is something that i think there ain t that i m in love and am fascinated burnt half like a cashew by you which is not true which is not lies and i sometimes thank almighty god i was made of glue when sometimes you meet me with your eyes that you think there is something that i think there ain t and we re equals in this game and at times when the world is absent with their tuned ears we confide in each other our most intimate fears we never say that you think that i am unnerved by you nor do i say that i ain t we talk of garfunkel of johann sebastian bach we talk of ourselves and we answer each other well and go our ways with small farewells before it goes dark 2014 01 25 this entry was posted in the age of the three and tagged love poetry modern love poetry vihanga perera emission of gas posted on january 23 2014 updated on january 23 2014 it disintegrated beyond recovery and we are strangers now once again as we were when we met nursing ourselves for another day in life scuttling among petty kicks we regret ironing a shirt lengthwise arms first parting the hair there where it is set to be parted now well creased that even the turbulence of sex would not unsettle that perpetual creasing rinse wash flush the toilet look at my stride as i walk it is even it is smooth it is virile even while the edges cut against my skin i greet your face as you face to greet me and casually say how concerned about my suffering i stare at the buttonless man the big bummed vehicle the emission of gas think how the glaciers trickle to dust the gregarious build of the dangling many fold woman and the many firm eyes that to follow her must they follow their dreams i follow my shadow as it precedes me as the sun falls on my back urging me on pushing me down the road and the screen only has a missed call that i miss from a pathetic piece of flesh with whom i am bored 2014 01 23 this entry was posted in the age of the three and tagged asian love poetry postcolonial poetry sri lankan literature vihanga perera poetry long walk jacques posted on january 10 2014 updated on january 10 2014 jacques kallis retires from test cricket all stern faced those who held a bat straight are leaving one after one brother jaques rock solid unattractive mountain standing at the wicket that i disliked you too are gone now you emotion less tin man of a gift not with a whimper with a bang a nerve held hundred on the last outing until the last moment all emotions held in check a signature one last time the steady cannon you were before your enemy s deck they are leaving now yes one after one to be commentators politicians money clad media icons how sad where you walk out jacques other jacques like in dickens book will perhaps come and take over the good work though not as good not as as done by that whipping blade with a muscle to match giant hands that scoop off from millimeters to the grass and a number 3 who runs in steaming over after over and bends his arse a rainbow sets of the rainbow nation farewell brother jacques your willow now breathing easy 2014 01 10 this entry was posted in the age of the three and tagged jacques kallis kallis retirement south africa test cricket awaiting the supremo posted on january 7 2014 updated on january 7 2014 what one waits for is a colonial authority to walk in and to take a look around so that you can lay down your weapons and surrender with harmony so no more do you have to think make decisions or fret for the sun no more would you have to lead but be led by the benevolence of empire and the feigned vigour of a wooden gun where you will be laid down and told to close your eyes and to shut down all thought and to let memory cascade into a seamless void to the salvation of what to think one may ought 2014 01 07 this entry was posted in the age of the three custody of death posted on december 3 2013 updated on may 12 2014 if you try to shoot em and if you are shot back at and dies or if you jump in some bog with your handcuffs on i will mute the tv not bother what the police guy says cos we already always know that they killed you eitherways if you led them to some inevitable copse where granades chinese rifles bullets machets you had hidden with care and if you tried to throw a granade at them after leading them all the way there what other rational thing are you meant to do police spokesperson is a curious act to play sit there under a switched on mic and to repeat a script in an unrehearsed way quite stanislovskian fourth wall and all from the fourth floor from which sometimes people fall a keheliya in khakhi is something to be but people are happy that these suspects jump into rivers get their brains blown out in ill strategized escape plans if they are killed the crime wave goes down the illiterate reason so to kill crime they lead us to weapons hidden put they reveal the armoury and then turn around to run away let crime triumph crime and legitimate criminals walk suspected criminals to death by criminal jury and by criminal verdict in criminal conditions by crime mongering arms suspecion be conviction in criminal definition and us the unconcerned viwers of the sick drama unfold 2013 12 03 this entry was posted in the age of the three and tagged killing of suspects police killings sri lanka sri lanka abuse sri lanka human rights 1 2 35 next start here
