Polyphony/Poems of Sabushanmughom

DAMSELS IN KUTTANAD In Kuttanad The damsels Never outruns girlhood. Like lakes, Stirs in gentle breeze. In the brook Perches becomes stars At their sight. At the twinkling anklets Water lilies flushed. From the untied hair The blackened shadows flies. Seeing the ebony bossom The sky bloomed wide. TIME Time The turbid water Everyone catches fish. I'm waiting turn to come. FANTACY Her cotton sari Ensnared the city Hands spirited Neck sought to strangle Legs fly Hair soar madness Ears melted cell phones Heart collapsed the sky. DISTORTED Arabian sea Encroached the city With chopped head And swelled legs. Clouds fought like black cats Spirit scented rain raged on. The world lay As if in a morgue Varied dance accrued Atop it. View distorted.
