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.
