Title: 'They Came To See And Liked Me Too. I Shall Go Away Someday.
Oh, Titali, Tikali, You Will Go Away, My Country Love! '
O, I shall go away, I shall go away! ,
...
Dark Daughter-
Tell you, tell you, who you are,
Tell me, tell me, who you are,
What your identity, where your home,
...
Nataraja Shiva
Metallurgical, clay-modelled and stone-made,
The statues in sculptures and artifacts,
Art-models and the inspiration behind the source of reckoning,
...
The black crow perched on the boughs
Crowing,
...
The girl trafficked, sold and re-sold
In the bazaar of human lust and hunger,
Dragged and drawn into,
Promised of, lured with and trafficked and sold and re-sold
...
Cut and paste and make a cocktail of,
Subtracting and adding,
Dovetailing and stitching,
Even stealing others’ properties
...
People generally take up Kamala Das and her poetry
Writing Ph.D. theses,
Promoting it beyond
And overpraise her slender works
...
I am a poet, I am a poet, you are not
Even though say you
That I write
And want to be a poet
...
God, my God,
May I confide in You to say,
Even if,
Even if they are not…
...
What people,
What people are they?
“They are the, they are the mad people.”
...
