at the edge of town night sharpens its teeth

— Hemapriya Chellappan

moth entering the house entering me

— Hemapriya Chellappan

it’s not a branch
tapping me
on my shoulder

— Hemapriya Chellappan

killing moon—

the banyan tree throws

its ancestral shadow

— Hemapriya Chellappan

I’m just a cloud ghost dog

— Hemapriya Chellappan

thinking
outside the coffin
ghost writer

— Hemapriya Chellappan

a loud screech
tears through the mist
fingernail moon

— Hemapriya Chellappan

soft hoots
a cloud eating
the moon

— Hemapriya Chellappan

hanging over
the cliff’s edge
ghost moon

— Hemapriya Chellappan

war stories
a lighthouse gazes
into the distance

— Hemapriya Chellappan

witching hour
the neighbour’s
purring cat

— Hemapriya Chellappan

ghost town
the night bus screams
to a stop

— Hemapriya Chellappan
