Three Kashmir Cameos. 2. Dachigam Poem by Ananta Madhavan

Three Kashmir Cameos. 2. Dachigam



The light is restless.
It pounces on the hill,
Lets go, hugs it again
With lessened ardour
And then abandons it.


The hill is promiscuous;
It welcomes light and dark
And all shades in between.
Its mauve responds
To modulated moods.

Its glossy green and pallor,
Its mossy green and shadow,
Its darker conifers and crags,
Its cloud halo and snow,
Shine changeably like us.
