G. S. Sharat Chandra - Morning Song

Description

To turn the lamp on, <br />let it capture the cunning back <br />of the literary thief, <br /> <br />to open the window <br />so the birds learn their words <br />instead of muddling them with chirps, <br /> <br />to whistle to the deaf horse grazing <br />in the windy backyard, <br />see in its steamy nostrils <br />the angelic clouds, <br /> <br />to stash the householder's concern <br />for this world in a trash bag
