Omer TarinLodged up there, on an imagined elephant’s back Your voice chants out with pride A medal of triumph, great in itself, Strange and shining in its innocent strength, Like the stars, dazzling us both with precicious wisdom ; The roaring cataract of love surrounds us And your smile becomes a lion, Golden-maned and true. © 2016 Omer Tarin Omer Tarin is a Pakistani poet in English, research scholar, social activist and mystic.

These are places, strange and vague situations where death is manifold and thoroughly extant to the careful eye. There are women’s bangles made of shell to be picked up from the saline dust or small copper beads and thin chert blades, or tiny obsidian arrow-heads that can be unhidden and disclosed beneath those bloody grey walls about the Lion Gate, or beautiful indented potsherds and ceramic fragments at the waterline where the Atlantic rolls out its long blue visceral waves...
