KAVITHASABAPATHI's POEM

A POEM BY KAVITHASABAPATHI

Translated into English by Latha Ramakrishnan(*First Draft)

SELF-SKETCHING PAINTBRUSH

Tears too, in total lock down

contained inside the eyes
due to Corona that boom
doing multiplication to our doom

•
In Time’s ledger
Pages of peril that none can bear;
Wars waged by the virus
beyond the bounds of eyes.
•
If this is the yield
It is so ordained.
If it is some evil design
the perpetrator would be damned.
•
Don’t know whether Time would
reach me to you or not.
Publish my two poem-collections.
At the peak of Corona
being across the Seas
I asked my better-half this.
