Three Poems by Jay Gandhi

No Rolling Credits 

Beneath these massive marvels,
the bodies of those masons
are buried — without coffins.

The architects took the cake.
Queens plundered the fame.

From the woman
who placed first brick
to the man who applied
final stroke of brush:
all are dusted. Names
have been forgotten.

we never memorized
them in the first place.


Healed

I gave away my late Mom's blue sari
which remained untouched since
several years. She had worn it
for my Master's Graduation.
I did not take pictures that day.


First day @ Job

Today the chick 
has hatched. 

It rubs its eyes
while it struggles
to get up on
its feet.

It will learn fast
to run fast; run
zigzag, cut lanes
& fly.

The world
is a beautiful
place—
full of scavengers.
