Indira Renganathan Poems

5.That house
With a Rangoon Creeper at the gate
With a stone bench at the porch
With a big swing in the hall...
...

91.Deafening sounds are painful pollution

92.Melodious sounds are melodic medication

She told him to read the newspaper
Son did but warned her of all murder
Rape, scam, scandal, swindle
Theft, molest, mishap, brawl...

Could freeze people and steal at ease
Birds and animals on the road

To gross over the wisdom of the gods
Holy wisdom and ain't holy dark
Your eyes.. whilst your heart visioned

No sea nor a hill of hue
Our eyes gain no tranquil glory
Finding there no prairie
