  1. My skeleton’s womb
  
  Who are these Siberian tigers
  lurking at me, the villagers
  denuding my sleeveless low-neck Selwar
  piercing me on the bridge of Dülung
  I’m earth’s food, have all the fountains traveled
  in separate darkness and immortality
  You’ve not given me a knife---------I have no protection
  
  By circles, immaculate afternoon white gloves
  exhibiting me death -gowns, how long before the soul dies bit by bit, years after years- it’s a dead furniture -Each love-mark does hara-kiri in worms of semen They smell sepulcher of my fear
  Fear hurls a golden apple bludgeons to death
  conquered by my panic, paralyzing me Exhausting me, Falsifying me.
  
  NOBODY NOT LOVING ME
  NADA NADIE ME QUIERE
  
  Is this my Midas touch
  Dissipates the sulfurous moon
  Freely turns bitter, blood’s crooked shards
  ceremoniously used, I resemble a twig
  Floating through my soul like a magician girl
  on the knife-board who can’t flinch

  2. Sugarloaf Mountain
  
  Now I remember everything I ever wanted
  There will be no more dying as I
  cross the street with a Greek mist.
  Like an adder, legs tight with fatigue
  I dive into the back of hill
  I disappear while
  The buoyant sun’s ray
  lulls the stiff scorpion
  
  The love of death nuzzles
  the tumultuous street
  The blue dare smoke
  Commands me to call it
  My home, created for rich Realtors
  The bison threatens me
  
  Desires are cerebral
  Fear is sublime
  I’m virtuous; asunder, pillaged
  I want to be alone

  You open my chest
  You see my door
  You replace my blood
  You see
  my belly
  my gut
  my murmur
  my hisses
  
  You can’t find my dial

  Now I remember to push out a mountain
  I shall see no more graves
  I shall win a piano
  To play concerto
  
  For I eat perspiration
  In the cerulean woods
  Inhuman patience howls you
  no hero, without good looks
  
  Now I see the unborn skin
  Rocks the clinic door
  I sit inside
  
  If you could pick me up
  from the dust of demon
  and lay me in the bassinet of juice
  
  Et tu have come
  without bone without blood
  without shoes in your hooves
  Like Napoleon’s troops
  
  Now I remember I am dead
  There shall be no more mourns
  I will not move again
  My furies shall find a shore
  I am wrapped like a kitten
  on the Sugarloaf Mountain.

  STARS IN THE SKY - VINMEENKAL KOOTTAM
  --------------------------------------
  Are they Blooming Flowers in a Winter Tank,
  Or they be Mini Coins Minted for a Ruler's Bank. 
  Jasmines scattered by Attractive Eyed Maidens, 
  And Later gathered for Accurately Made Garlands.  
  May be the Pearls on a Beautifully Woven Silken Garment,
  Could be the Peony laid on a Golden Satin Raiment.
  Perhaps Carefully Cut and Sharpened Diamonds of Divinity,
  Possibly Skillfully Put & Decorated Lanterns at Infinity.  
  They are the Star Clusters.
  ---------------------------------------------- 
  " VIN MEENKAL KOOTTAM " ( Star Clusters ) By Vani Dhasan ( Ranga Swamy. 1915 - 1974 )
  Translated by Dr.VSRS from the original Tamil Version written in a Beauty Descriptive ( Ezhil Viruththam ) Tamil Poetic Style, by the Author.
