Another Language Poem by Indira Renganathan

Another Language

Rating: 5.0


Breathing, eating, speaking,
Reading, working etcetera, etcetera..
Every day moves and ends
In my own mother tongue only

Another language..?
It is like
Picking the star diomonds
With the longest hookstick
From the sky

Why to quit certainty
For a chance
All is yet just a trial of
Chance only
Out of sheer curiosity

2) And change the course of American literature. Or Joseph Conrad translating his masterpiece IN THE HEART OF DARKNESS from his native Polish to English. I wonder how many poets on PH do the same.

A well written, thought-provoking poem. Made me think of how impossibly difficult it was for Kerouac to translate his works from his native French to English.
