I told you yesterday, of late <br />Not reclined to write <br />Like this for ever and a day pouring rain <br />For a week, feet on <br />Tender soil, whole day <br />Conversed, fighted, exchanged blows <br />Mutter in sleep <br />Never felt that I would tell you in Kannada <br />All I knew <br />My own portrait kept in jar <br />Closed with stop cock, sealed with wax <br />Kept float in Kaveri river <br />Within twenty years <br />In the sea shore, youngster wiggled sand <br />Opened stop cock, kept <br />My portrait in his pocket <br />In his unknown language <br />Writing is not possible <br />Adhesive Cold weather expelled <br />Suddenly closed door <br />Osculated and closed warmly <br />Made me to sleep <br />In his unknown language <br />Writing is not possible <br />Eat Unripe Mango, stayed upfront <br />The world sky become the land <br />The hill-chest, trees-toes, sea-leg <br />All glittered VIBGYOR colors <br />Twirled and twirled... Wrote the gem lamp <br />Secreted inside and the womb <br />Suddenly scrounge spring <br />In the afternoon hard to digest <br />Experience with bestirred and shuffled face <br />Plunged rainbow written <br />His own image seen in mirror <br />Sparkled lightning within his eyes <br />Baffled thenceforth kiss <br />Felt again and again <br />Written his portrait <br /> <br />Flown day and night <br />Snatched and poured Udupi Krishna <br />Like an innocent Mangaladevi <br />Like sea shore Someshwara <br />Sitting in Kadri and wrote <br />No days and dates <br />There exists again <br />Kiss impropriety in the <br />Midnight twined <br />Fallen clothes, lifted cradle <br />Children school written <br />A little gray hair, a little obese, little baldy <br />Unseen and very small back ache <br />Started once need not ends <br />Like that came outside which is inside <br />Drawn points with sums <br />Multiplications and counting <br />Can’t be done in Kannada as sketch.<br /><br />Kavitha Rai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-language/
