Pregnant Pandemic

by Kushal Poddar

From the skin taunt in pregnancy
I sniff and snort dreams.
 
Silence of pandemic
whistles and pisses against
houses by the main street.
 
Moon duplicates soon.
Only this indicates a level of high.
What's the word for a baby in the womb?
 
L' aurore. You say.
Fun should be a necessity, I say.
Nothing works as conjunctive between
those statements.
 
The skin glows in powdered moonlight.
We fall asleep.
 
Ice-holes
