An Elephant And A Tortoise Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

An Elephant And A Tortoise



Floating quarrelling
An elephant and a tortoise
On the curvature of river-gloom;

The sky is curious
When death-flower will bloom...



Note:
In the epic Mahabharata wrestling between a demon 'Gaja'(elephant-figured demon) and 'Kachhapa' (tortoise-figured demon)
indicates keen long term rivalry.
