Kurinji
Once in twelve years the royal visitor comes
With his relatives who can’t walk fast.
Some are so slow that they reach the next year.
Blue aristocrats, can’t manage the heat
And will live only in the cold hills
The subjects run to see a glimpse of them.
Centers of brightness making locals bend
Become nervous to impress their highness
Beating the native identity as nothing.
Twittering birds talking incessantly
Walking in front leading the beauties
Fair in colour, alien in language.
Power bases should be treated with backs bent
No question of equality, commonness.
How can such dreams live in deserts?
Dry land needs honey in tongues
Pleasing rare visitors to get favours.
Ancient manners bowing to false gods.
<hr>
City generous
The cows were born in the house nearby
They knew to eat paper
Lived on cinema posters
Managed without meadows
Had no practice of walking for miles.
They knew to stand in front of shops
And look at the vegetables with longing
The smart shopkeeper got rid of
The unwanted lives in a neat manner.
Well fed than their village colleagues
Fat stored in bulging tissues
Walked the flexible masters.
