A POEM BY
S.FAIZA ALI
trash of any sort
In the rims of shampoo-fragrant bathroom
dirty clusters of moss don’t grow.
Even those unwashed attires
appear as the neatly pressed and folded
shown all new in the advertisements.
Even inside those uncooked vessels
‘Karisoru’ with the aroma of
curry leaves and cardamom
Vessels not washed too
with shine superior to the stars.
Even in the floor-
untouched by wet clothes
dust-particles don’t settle.
These days
the heart longs not
wearing new dresses
and setting forth hurriedly
Except praying and doing associated
Sparrow Oh sparrow
Wearing the white clouds as your wings
fluttering all over the heart
_ Oh my darling little sparrow
Won’t you come here, please.
before you go your way
In your classroom of today
When will the last bell ring, please say.
சிட்டுக் குருவியே...
இப்போதெல்லாம்
முற்றத்துப் பூமரங்களும் குப்பை கூளங்களை
ஷாம்பூ மணக்கும் குளியலறைத்தரை
எஸ். பாயிஸா அலி.
