This, Too, Is That Poem by Perundevi Perundevi

This, Too, Is That



Forgetting is a little bird,
fluttering its wings.
The peacock feather
it has fetched
was never lost
by anyone.

Forgetting is a fine cosmetic.
Beneath the eyes
(of handsome men)
you won't find
rings
of suffering

Forgetting is the room within a room.
It blooms
without reason, bearing
a very brief
lifespan (within) .

Forgetting is another name.


(in Tamil, translated by N. Kalyan Raman)
