My brahminism..
Still holding ascetic austerities
Bathed brisk in dark dawn,
Prepared food for the day
...
And in spoonful oil
Kitchen is busy frying
Mustard and lentils two tablespoons each
And chillies hundred grams
...
Luminous on the snowy Himalaya
The effulgence of Kaladi Kerala
The beacon light up there spirited
From south of Bharath enlightened
...
A dove wanted to sail with the moon
But settled with the lily the moon
Half way flown the dove up the sky
...
96 Prostration
A gesture with great reverence
To the supreme Being and to
...
When your first speech was applauded
Sky high you began to aim
For a place among the far stars
...
Every night
A remote star winkles at me
From the dim skies
...
You can not sow your many lies
Around you to support your one big lie
Nor can you hide the one big truth
...
Chirping flapping of iridescent tones
Co-occurring with a maestro's cuckoo-ing
Through the dulcet breeze
Breaking quiescence to break open
...
Darling Krishna,
In that dispersed dream
Into a vague painting
You too dispersed in a stream
...
