Home truths 1982

అచ్చునకామ్రేడితంబు పరంబగునపుడు సంధి తరచుగ నగు.
తెలుగులో ఏడిస్తే యింకో భాషలోనూ ఏడవడం కుదురుతుంది. అభ్యాసం కూసు విద్య అన్నారు మరి.
ఆంచేత,
tears are invisible in the dark
sobs go unheard in silences of night
no eyes to see
no ears to hear

your solitude
your alienation
will never desert you

dark dimple in a flood of light
unused note in the symphony of world
not jasmine but discarded stem
as attractive as a sixth finger
and as necessary

your solitude
your alienation
will never desert you.

Till we meet again, people.
