VIDEO POEM IN RESPONSE TO A BLANK EMAIL
Messenger Pigeons
Once again shrieks of a hundred elephants
Driven over the precipice to please a king
Echo through fifteen centuries
Your body becomes a birdhouse
Messenger pigeons emerge from your eyes and take wing
But no one listens to them
Where do they take their message now
Who has the ear to listen to news they bring
What is it they wish to say
Round and round in circles they fly far and wide
Wherever they alight it is a foreign land
Surrounded by strangers who do not understand them
Round and round far away and wide
They know they cannot return
For the dovecotes all lie broken in their homes

Marily Monroe visits Varavara Rao
This is the third poem-video created by Masood Hussain's Inner Soul Films for Varavara Rao, the ailing Telugu-language poet imprisoned without trial in India. In this poem, he is visited in hospital by Marilyn Monroe whose films he enjoyed as a student. Poet Gabriel Rosenstock says: 'It is a hallucinatory poem, in the sense that the stricken poet was reported to have been experiencing hallucinatory disturbances as a result of the trauma and deprivations arising out of his detention, not to mention the virus of our age which he has contracted; the poem could also be a modern take on the Gaelic 'aisling' tradition, the glowing vision of a goddess-like figure who brings succour and hope to the defeated poets of a defeated nation in their darkest hour. -
