Here are some poems from The Alphabets of Latin America, the latest poetry collection by Abhay K.
Andes - Abhay K.
The green breasts
of Earth rise
to quench the thirst
of insatiable humanity.
La Recoleta - Abhay K.
Death asks life at La Recoleta
how long will you last ?
Look at me, I’m eternal—
the final truth.
Come, rest amidst these exquisite stones,
give in, the universe is my necropolis.
Moai -Abhay K.
What are you
waiting for Moai?
Your eyes always open
without blinking
what’s so urgent
in this world,
whose arrival
do you await?
If you are looking
for a saviour
there is none,
no one will come
this far to save you
even by chance
you’re on your own
we’re all on our own
close your eyes,
go home and sleep.
Ushuaia - Abhay K.
Even at the end of the world
there is no dearth of light
periphery becomes the centre
and the centre—the periphery
there I float in silence
at the feet of the snow-covered hills.
