पद्य आणि मृत्युविचार  – भाग-५-ब 

(इंग्रजी काव्य : पुढे चालू )

इंग्लिशमध्ये लिहिणार्‍या भारतीय कवींचे कांहीं काव्यांश –

And death nowhere else but here in

My betrayer’s arms.

• Kamla Das

–

When I die

Do not throw the meat and bones away

But pile them up

And

Let them tell

By their smell

What life was worth

On this earth

What love was worth

In the end.

• Kamla Das

–

Orbituary

Father, when he passded on,

left dust

…..

And he left us

a changed mother

and more than

one annual ritual.

• K. Ramanujam

–

Death by Burial

… enough cause for a riot

with half the village shouting

“death by fire”

And the other half

“death by burial !”

• N. Daruwalla

–

a woman may poison

twenty three cockroaches.

• Arun Kolatkar

–

Suicide of Rama

man leaves his legend standing

one wave bears the other out

the river refers his bones

to the salt judgement of the sea.

• Arun Kolatkar

–

Soon

I shall die soon, I know

This thing is in my blood

It will not let me go

It saps my cells for food.

……

Stay by my steel ward bed

And hold me where I lie.

Love me when I am dead

And do not let me die.

• Vikram Seth

Will you do something for me ?

When I die,

Will you bury my cloud

with me ?
