This is the translation of my Tamil poem written in the eighties, later published in Thayagam (Canada) and in e-magazines Pathivukal and Thinnai. It is also included in my first anthology of poems published by Mangai Pathippagam.
Poem: Wake up, super human! By V.N.Giritharan
Concrete! Concrete! Concrete!
Walls! Radiating heat and burning with intensity,
The smooth, deceptive white surfaces.
Sidewalks of cement that wear a mocking grin.
Spaces lie entranced, embraced by fearless pillars.
In the filtration of air currents,
Flowing warm rays.
In the playful laughter of frost droplets,
The chill sweeps through,
Amid the sweetness of dreams about meadows,
Underneath the blue canvas,
Lie the sorrowful memories
Of the cold earth mother.
