Love Journey Poem by Kaniamudhu Shanmugam

My journey today is with Muniyamma and Pachiyamma.

Co passengers were Bavani and Ravi.

I watched for spiders.
I chased to massacre them.

I scrubbed and washed doors and windows and panes and kitchen tiles

I felt irritated when Ravi was intervening asking whether my journey is over

Bavani lectured not to lose my temper because the passengers were slow to add fuel to my irritation

I feel saturated and dehydrated traveling with Muniyamma and Pachiyamma slow coaches

I gulped Bovanto in unlimited cups

My irritation of mind increased by my increased irritable bowel syndrome

Like a beaten 🐸 I lie in bed with my limbs stretched

O Lord of Nine Gates have mercy

O goddess cleanliness forbade me for my weary curses

Who decided on celebrating this Ayudha Pooja and Saraswati Pooja

Women in all homes suffer the same pains

So saying I end my journey for the day

I have to start it tomorrow with Madhamma

My mind reels and rolls to think of it
