Poetry For Keki N.Daruwalla Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Poetry for Daruwalla is
Bombastic, verbose words,
Old and archaic words,
Obsolete and odd,
Out-dated and out-moded,
Cathartic and purgatory,
Dramatically monologued.

Though he resides in India,
He appears to be close
To Persian, Irani
And Syrian affiliations,
A poet Parsi
Of the Iranian, Persian identity,
Of Lahore and its beyond.

The myth of Persia
The myth of his,
The myth of Iran and Iraq,
A replay of the things
Zoroastrian
And he too a Zoroastrian
With the Avesta
As his testament of faith.
