Poem
Manushya Puthiran
Its Own Way
In the granaryan affection
sprouts slowly
No light
no breeze
no handful of earth
to clutch
nothing
but its own wetness.
And yet
obstinately
it emerges.

Its Own Way
In the granaryan affection
sprouts slowly
No light
no breeze
no handful of earth
to clutch
nothing
but its own wetness.
And yet
obstinately
it emerges.
