Nature Red In Tooth And Claw, The Poetry Of Keki N.Daruwalla Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Nature, red in tooth and claw forms
The crux and thematic of Daruwalla
Who is a step ahead of them
In grappling with natural disaster and calamity not,
But criminal mood and mind of man,
His wrath, anger, villainy,
Enmity, hatred,
Vengeance, animosity,
The animal forces of nature,
Rumour, mob psychology,
Accident, death and disease,
Above all, the morgue.

Daruwalla's heart is not a human pulsating heart,
But eyes turned stony and the heart rocky,
Waterless, tearless,
Viewing without
Any compassion or remorse,
A Jacobian drama man, a Shakespearean villain,
A Marlowean hero,
A character Senecan, Sophoclean,
A writer Brechtian,
A Parsi unto his last
Telling of the hawk, vulture, kite,
The Towers of Silence
Upon which the Parsis expose their dead.
