Like us a structure
This pen could draw
a drawing
a building map
a street information note
a love letter to a lady
an office's orders
All of these will not happen for now
It will write just a poem
Title will form on it's own
The person who researched the skeletons
knew one thing for sure
in houses
in wastelands
at the boundaries of the farmlands
They too have
Kings Ministers Soldiers
a structure
Note: Structuralism quotes ...

இந்த கவிதை முற்றுபெறவில்லையோ என்று நினைக்கிறேன். தலைப்புகள் தானே உருவாகும் என்ற வரிக்கு முந்திய வரிகளும் அதற்கு பிந்தைய வரிகளும் ஒரு அரசியல் செயல்பாட்டை நுட்பமாய் இணைப்பாக கொள்வதா, பேனா பிடித்தவன் செய்கைக்கும், எலும்புகளை ஆராய்பவனுக்கும் எந்த தொடர்பும் இல்லை என்று விடுவதா? என்றொரு அமைப்பு இதையே கோட்பாடுகளை கட்டுடைப்பதாக கொள்வதா? கொஞ்சம் குழப்பமான கவிதை
ReplyDeleteDad had done this translation of this poem a long for me. It's very much like an essay and didn't feel the need to put it here.
ReplyDeleteexcept for his title : "that kind of an organisation"
Here in this poem, I think we learn something very critical about Aathmanaam. The raw-empty-frame of what might become a poem is in conversation with bones/skeleton that holds a man's muscle, veins, arteries, face, features etc.. I think in this poem there is a confidence that by the mere act of a pen to a paper will put together a text which automatically forms a structure of a poem and nothing else...just like how bones will automatically hold and form the identity of a man. And not only does it form a poem but like bones after the death of a poet spreads itself across our landscape and lives on...he is soo right in this moment..He is soo close to this sensation-ART. I wish I met him this day.
