Pillow Poem by Prabhakar Subramaniam
Pillow
How do you translate
This word that in my language
Means something
That calms the head?
A place where women
Are said to weave their spell
To wean men away
From their mothers;
Children fight
For the new ones
Before they are hardly unwrapped
It is always the other one
They find attractive;
When guests arrive
The best ones are given to them
And it is invariably the house queen
Who sacrifices hers
And sleeps with a makeshift pillow
Of bedsheets and clothes;
Blessed are those
Who have no need for pillows
And travel far on dreams.

These words are too catchy! A place where women weave their spell! Have you ever been spelled or yet to be spelled. Motherinlaw and daughterinlaw relationship is too difficult to handle, because both of them love the same man who may be the coward to hide behind these women to do their errands. Having a nuclear family is normally not initiated by the women, but it is initiated by the men. Any way nice poem thalai anai..
