This cruel deadly times - lockdown periods Radhamani sarma

 

 

Poem of the week: from a renga by Marilyn Hacker and Karthika Naïr

 This cruel deadly times …. Lockdown period

 

 

I had a dream, sleepless nights

Immersing me, wolves haunt

Nowhere to escape  now

This deadly times aghast .

 

Also ode in line a cute

Formation to half moon

Me with steps dance

 Sad for liberation; 

 

There for us come

Ghazals pouring like rain,

Inescapable now, though

A flight away from this a longing.

 

A  spacious garden,

Resounding various rhythms

Of voices in our own

Sonorous mood  dipping with sway.

 

Ghazals a delight and redeemer

A thrill shaking us away from thraldom.
