Sundara Ramaswamy
Life
Sighting the snake
you picked up the stone
I became the snake
Sighting the sword
you bent the bow
I became the scabbard
When the elephant in rut came
you screamed and raised hell
I trained being pendulum
in the tail
Later one day
at the cross lanes
I slipped, fell
and died
You died many a death
and survived
Living on and on
I perished
Translated by T. S. Dakshinamurthy
