How To Erase? Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

HOW TO ERASE?


&



IS TOTAL ERASURE POSSIBLE?



WHEN THE BODY IS INCINERATED



THE ASH REMAINS-



HOW THEN TO ERADICATE THE ASH?



INCIDENTS DIE


BUT THE MEMORIES STICK ON-



HOW THEN TO ERASE THE MEMORIES?



&



WHEN GOOD THINGS WANE



AS THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE BREEZE



THE PRESSURE OF VIOLENT THOUGHTS



AS CHISELLED PRINTS ON ROCK


REMAIN INDELIBLE IN THE RECESSES OF MEMORY-


IN THE DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT



AND DEEP IN THE NEST OF THE IRIS


MEMORIES GLOW IN RED HOT FLAMES-


HOW THEN TO ERASE MEMORIES?


&
