An Unknown Woman

There was a woman,
not known much
lived in oblivion
died so in the dark.

She bore the suffering,
tolerated the humiliation
breathed her last seven decades ago

seven decades ago.

Thoughts come from nowhere
almost like a volcano.
Her grandchildren cry with love
commend her qualities with pride.

I stand bewildered in shock.

My mind prods.

My heart aches.
Anything amiss?

Men do remember,
not in times of prosperity
only in periods of distress
recall the bygones especially their ancestors.

This way I wonder
Well, I know not why
am I the only one to think so
then let me be the odd one out

Pallanguzhi—-Symptomatic August 13, 2018
Confined in a modest room for sixteen days. I drink sesame oil munched palm jaggery. I stay bored. I tiptoe, a deceit anyhow My watchful aunt stops me. Back in the room, I remain doleful. I call her names. Not aloud, she would flog me if she picks up. I stretch out on my rough bed. […]

One By One July 29, 2018
One by one it goes on. Those which eluded have evolved. That which escaped are within grasp. Inconceivable a few days ago turns significant. Marvellous. Happiness prevails. A perfection, pleasing as well overwhelms. Experience a texture smooth and petal like. Tears of joy trickle. A reward, for sure though late, exhilarates.

One of my Cousins July 22, 2018
She is one of my cousins a sensible woman a contemporary, one or two years more or less. She is from a family steeped in tradition, orthodox in conviction, but stylish in outlook paradoxical it might be. Married into a community primitive in thought harsh in behaviour. Caught between the two, she encounters a meltdown. […]

She is Andal July 20, 2018
It is love anyway dissimilar to that of man and woman different from mother and child unlike the one between the siblings. It is a liking anyhow. strange conjugation one might not understand being a human after all. It is one of platonic inconceivable to most that of sublime ecstasy purity in thought as well. I […]

To Me As Well July 18, 2018
The havoc already done I struggle to restore. A vain attempt I know Yet I go. My power and vulnerability set me apart. Others judge, I am insane Why do I deign? I, myself, am at a loss unable to resolve. Beseech and beg those who disagree to unite. Ambiguous in my moves I pose […]

Truly Me July 17, 2018
It is a heyday, the calls and the answers the pressure and the inevitable check me. I attend the screaming door bell. attend to the whistles of the cooker prevent the doors from banging play foil to the car honks. I run to the porch see an old friend. I nod my head lwith vigour. […]
