CRACKLING PYRE

Shining through the  branches  

The rays of the setting sun!  

A dogs howls

The pandit chants

The evangelists pray

All in vain!

The funeral pyre crackles! 

CRAVING CORPSE

Waiting to become ashes

My burning corpse craves!

Caught within the ravaging flames of desire

 Lust, anger and hate!

Oh! Friendly undertaker

 Incinerate my soul too!
