Simple
I am here
a chirp
is enough to explain this.
I was here
the dropping of a feather
is enough to explain this.
I would be there
the warmth of the
hatching of egg is
enough to explain this.
How could you expect
a bird to explain its
life in a more simple way ?
The poet’s symbol
I have to locate
the poets house
in the university campus.
There are numerous ways, streets
it’s easy to get confused.
There are houses
on the either side of the road
their shapes are similar
from outside and inside.
I remember having
visited his house once ,
There was a gauva tree
in his yard.
We cut the raw poem
and tasted it.
His identity is gauva
not his name.
When I move on
with the smell of fruits
a dog in uniform
passes by me.
He smells the gunpowder
and reaches the poet’s house
before I do.
