Prabhakar Subramaniam Poems

1.

All day long
I keep hearing
The kuyil's song
Though the sun is searing
...

Is there a path
From you to yourself,
Can the house
Look for itself elsewhere,
...

Dead neem leaves
Lie like crescents
On my path
Gusts of wind
...

It's time for hard decisions

The sage leader said
...

It is where lies come readily

Without any prompting
...

My distant kin

Suddenly warmed to me
...

When the lights blow out

Urchins erupt in joy
...

In a language
How many words
There are
In a word
...

Do you know

How to raise a fire
...

The wind in the palm tree
Outside my balcony
Sounds like rain,
The quartz clock
...

11.

There is a night
You do not want to end
Like the one before you leave your home
For the wedding with a stranger
...

Above the loud hoardings
Stoking a thousand desires
The trees stand
Tall and clear
...

13.

Silence is not always consent
It could be a loss of words
Even a loss of faith in words
Perhaps, a pause, for something else
...

A wall not seen as a wall

Is the one difficult to pull down
...

We, devotees, were asked
To go through a metal detector,
Frisked for belt-bombs
Our bags were searched
...

Who's the caller
I wonder as I answer
The unknown number
When the girl
...

17.

In the dark
Colours lie awake
For day to break
Roosters sleep light
...

He spoke in a tongue

That seemed familiar
...

19.

In this sun-weary city

December is spring
...

As I step out

Of the shop
...

The Best Poem Of Prabhakar Subramaniam

Kuyil

All day long
I keep hearing
The kuyil's song
Though the sun is searing
And no breeze blows
All's not lost
The bird knows
