Sreekala Sivasankaran Poems

The squirrel came today
Separated from the mother

Half dead in the hands of the playing cats
...

Can you see Ma standing on the balcony?

I can see her standing on the balcony
Against the backdrop of the Warli landscape of the bedsheet
...

Single Woman Poet

What do you do?
I write poems
...

New Year Toast*


The toast I promised
...

Words...
Just a few alphabets
The same old building blocks
Handful of raw materials
...

Poem can bloom

Madness of society
Tore into pieces
...

Wisdom tooth
Growing in all directions
What will it do?
I don't know
...

अक़ल दाढ़
सभी दिशाओं में बढ़ रहा है
यह क्या करेगा?
मुझे नहीं पता
...

The house is beautiful
By
Sreekala Sivasankaran
...

Sharp-edged words
Fly across the day
At every passing second
Cutting the soft fleshy life
...
