Mysterious House In The Wood Poem by SRIRANJI ARATISANKAR

Moon dived burning into the solitary pond
On the woody bank a deserted house,
the skeleton of a house
Motionless mysterious house
At mid-night tune of piano is heard
like weeping with a sigh
Suddenly wrapped with deep blue shadow
Moon came out of water
no flesh, only whitish brown bones
and snow-white skull
No eyes, only deep hollow
In the two hollows fire
as red quartz in sudden blaze
burst into a flame and went out
burst into a flame and went out...
A figure made of wind
whirling there with a trephine

Gripped the skull of moon...
Night brimful with awful rattling sound

The trees of the wood catching the breath
waiting...
