മരമൊഴി


ഭോജപത്രമേ
ഇതാരുടെ കഥ?
നിന്റെ ചായുന്ന ശിഖരത്തിൽ
തൊലിത്താളുകളിൽ
ആരുടെ തൂലിക ? 

ഇതെന്റെ കഥ
നിന്റെയും 

കടന്നുപോയ പഥികർ
യാത്രയുടെ ഇടവേളയിൽ
പരസ്പരം  സമര്പ്പിച്ച
ഇതിഹാസം 

അതിൽ ഞാനുണ്ടോ നീയുണ്ടോ
അലയുന്ന പാന്ഥരുടെ വിയര്പ്പുണ്ടോ
താപസമുനിയുടെ കയ്യൊപ്പുണ്ടോ 

അധികാര പടവുകളിൽ
വേറിട്ട താളുകളിൽ
പരിചയം പുതുക്കുന്ന
രൂപങ്ങളുണ്ട്‌ 

കിളിയുടെ പാട്ടിൽ
നദിയുടെ ആരവത്തിൽ
കാടിറങ്ങുന്ന പദചലനത്തിൽ
മല നിറയുന്ന വെളിച്ചത്തിൽ 

പിന്നെയും ശബ്ദങ്ങൾ….

Kandal Pokkudan: Man of the Mangroves

Image
Some journeys unexpectedly curve, turning you inward; taking you back to the womb, to the very conception of life.    In the midst of a hectic study tour in Kannur district in North Kerala, writer K.M Venugopalan, our companion during this journey, took us to Chengal wherein resides Shri. Kallen Pokkudan, lovingly called as Kandal (mangrove) Pokkudan – the man who grew mangrove forests along the Pazhayangadi River.      Exhausted as we were in the afternoon, we reached the house of Shri. Pokkudan, the tireless crusader for the restoration of the lost heritage of mangrove forests in the coastal region. What he began with a strong individual conviction in his home district, in Kannur in the 1980s, soon became a mass effort and countless mangroves have been planted in almost all parts of Kerala over the years. Kallen Pokkudan He was struggling with his lunch kept on the table, unable to eat, as sobs choked his throat in remembrance of his life partner, Meenakshi, who had

With Love,

Poem by G. Sasi (1959-2002) Soumini, You said that black is beautiful Poets have sung it Then, How did the black people get humiliated? We are not the ones who suck blood and sweat We are melting… The blazing sun and the burning earth Are not tending us Mother, There is no space for the black people To hide in your wings We are being thrown out Oh mother Kali! Your neck has been ornamented By whose heads? When you quench your anger By sucking blood On whose headless body are you standing? Soumini, Don’t say for the sake of saying That black is beautiful… Don’t sing, Black is the seed of riot in the self Mountain of turbulence Shadow of suffering The color of love (Translated from Malayalam by Sreekala Sivasankaran) G. Sasi was born in 1959 in Madhuraveli, Kottayam district of Kerala . His parents Gopalan and Kuttippennu worked as coolies and they lived in the Ayamkudi slum colony. Sasi, after completing his school education went to college but could not continue the studies. His poems
