Delivery Season Poem by Kanishka SricharanPratap

Like
Delivery of dogs
Season comes
For them!

Day and night they give fruit
Take fruit
At misplace!

On labour pain
Hold pain
This of that...
That of this...
One million fifty thousand,
Editor
Poet
Story writer,
Essayist
Novelist
Male and female
All!

Make sever mud
Up to knee
Up to waist
Up to forehead
Up to bamboo length!

Sinks state
Sinks language
Sinks literature
Sinks culture,
Sink you
And sink I,

Sink...
All sink down,
In those
Delivery-water!


Translated from Odia by
Subash Chandra Mohapatra
