No one knew why father

dropped his aitches,

or why he always wore

a long face in the company

of those dandies,

who flooded the neighborhood

with their customary

cock-a-doodle-doo.

they laughed, he too kept

a smile unwithered, tiny though.

they gave us pamphlets which

tasted of cockroaches

and biscuits which

told the unheard-of lies……

still father drops his aitches.

i like cherries,
specially
the ones with
blood still dropping
and wound
still yawning at me

the last pain

the last pain
it was nothing
nothing, i say.
but it looked
like the rays
of a dying sun
weary of reason.
did i say reason?
oh yes.
then it is true.
it reaches out
but returns empty.

After I climb



After I climb the chill mountain's steep stone paths,

Deep in the white clouds there are homes of men.

I stop my carriage, and sit to admire the maple-grove at nightfall,

Whose frozen leaves are redder than the flowers of early Spring.

ശവപരിശോധന

"ആത്മാര്‍ത്ഥത

അലിവ്

സ്നേഹം

കാരുണ്യം

ദയ

ഒന്നും കാണുന്നില്ലല്ലോ സാറേ

ഈ ബോഡിക്കകത്ത്,

ഉള്ളത് വാക്കുകള്‍ പോലെ എന്തോ ഒന്നു,

അതാണെങ്കില്‍ വളര്‍ച്ച മുരടിച്ച്.......

തിരിച്ചറിയാനാകുന്നില്ല"

" ആ !!! എന്തെകിലുമാട്ടെ....

താന്‍ വേഗം തുന്നിക്കെട്ടി അടുത്തതെടുക്ക്"

papa said don't

papa said don't
so i don't tell
i keep it all
dug deep in my head...
i try to scream
i scream inside
it hurts too much
to silent cry-
my throat is choked
i hurt it so
from silent moans
deep down my throat.

മഴ

വാരിപ്പുണരട്ടെ
ഈ
നീര്‍ത്തുള്ളികളെ!
ഇനിയൊരു മഴ
എന്നില്‍
പെയ്തില്ലെങ്കിലോ!
ഇതു ചുവന്നിരിക്കുന്നു!
ആരുടെ കണ്ണില്‍നിന്നൊഴുകിയ
രക്തമാണോ!
