Live! Not dying
like all the sad-eyed people
but like the dog
that dances in the window
Wake up and look
There's sun, there's stars
there's daisies
and it swirls
in your ***
Wake up to a poem
Your blood flows
Spring comes and
there's bread in the oven
I'm not saying anything new
My words are clear
as water, as your soul
The sea falls and rises
but man is cruel
Poem "Cruelty" (Namdea Dhasal [Born near Pune, India, 1949], collection "Golpitha", 1973)
