ഒട്ടും സ്വാഭാവികതയില്ലാതെ
ആ മാവ് പൂത്തു.
വെറുതെ ഒരില പൊഴിച്ചു.
ആരെയും അറിയിക്കാതെ
ഓരോ മഴയും ആസ്വദിച്ചു.
വികാരമൊന്നും പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാതെ
ഒരു പൂവ് ഉതിര്ത്തിട്ടു.
എന്തിനോ വേണ്ടി കാത്തുനിന്നു.
കാവ്യബോധത്തിനോട് വിരക്തിയാലെന്നപോലെ
നിര്ദ്ദയമായ മൌനത്ത അഭയം പ്രാപിച്ചു

വെള്ളം തറയില് പലതലകളായി
ഒരു ഗ്ളാസ് വെള്ളം
തറയിലേക്ക് മറിഞ്ഞൊഴുകി.
വെള്ളം തറയില് പലതലകളായി നാമ്പെടുത്തു
ഫണങ്ങള് മത്സരിച്ച് തലപൊക്കി നീങ്ങി.
അല്ല, അവ അങ്ങനെ ഭാവിച്ചു.
ഉപരിതലത്തിലെ ചെറിയ കുഴികള്
വളരെ അഗാധമാണെന്ന് നടിച്ച്
വളഞ്ഞും പുളഞ്ഞും ഒഴുകി.
ഞാനും ഒരു ഫണമായി ,
ആ തലകളിലൊന്നായി
തറയിലെന്തോ വീണത്
പരതുകയാണെന്ന വ്യാജേന
ഇഴഞ്ഞും ഒഴുകിയും കളിച്ചു
തറയിലേക്ക് മറിഞ്ഞൊഴുകി.
വെള്ളം തറയില് പലതലകളായി നാമ്പെടുത്തു
ഫണങ്ങള് മത്സരിച്ച് തലപൊക്കി നീങ്ങി.
അല്ല, അവ അങ്ങനെ ഭാവിച്ചു.
ഉപരിതലത്തിലെ ചെറിയ കുഴികള്
വളരെ അഗാധമാണെന്ന് നടിച്ച്
വളഞ്ഞും പുളഞ്ഞും ഒഴുകി.
ഞാനും ഒരു ഫണമായി ,
ആ തലകളിലൊന്നായി
തറയിലെന്തോ വീണത്
പരതുകയാണെന്ന വ്യാജേന
ഇഴഞ്ഞും ഒഴുകിയും കളിച്ചു

Dogs’ News -poem by m k harikumar
That mosquito lies
Dead on the sewerage.
No one gives a damn
Even to pass by that way.
All and sundry are rushing,
At the margin-free markets
checking out for fish and meat.
No damning dog worth the salt
Seemed mourning for the mosquito.
And these dogs at nights dwelt on
With their usual indulgences,
Barking, snarling and mounting.
But it did not make any one softer either.
Rather, tho’ sneered at and bitched away,
Some civilized ‘males among them’
Kept on sniffing at and dogged theirs.
But when it was a point of no avail
They let go their very drape of decency.
They cut aerie faces, growling
and scratching all through the night.
And went on rampage spitting out
whatever abuses they all knew.
Who else on earth can abuse
this many number of human elements?
They went on a naked hysteric
dancing spree all thro’ night
against hoarding and price rise.
But by the break of dawn
All dogs took to different ways.
Politics of dogs has failed nowhere.
How nicer dogs are than humans!!!

കണ്ണുകളുടെ ദേശീയതയില്
ഏറ്റവും അദൃശ്യമായ
ഒരു കാഴ്ച ഏതു പൂവിലുമുണ്ട്.
ഒരു വസ്ത്രം മാറുന്നപോലെ നമ്മെ
പുതിയതാക്കാന്
ആ അദൃശ്യതയ്ക്ക് കഴിയും.
എന്നാല് കണ്ണുകളുടെ ദേശീയതയില്
നമ്മള് പൂവിനെ
ഒരു വലിയ ആര്ത്ഥിക ലോകത്തിന്റെ
സൂചകമാക്കി
കണ്ണും നട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു
ഒരു കാഴ്ച ഏതു പൂവിലുമുണ്ട്.
ഒരു വസ്ത്രം മാറുന്നപോലെ നമ്മെ
പുതിയതാക്കാന്
ആ അദൃശ്യതയ്ക്ക് കഴിയും.

നമ്മള് പൂവിനെ
ഒരു വലിയ ആര്ത്ഥിക ലോകത്തിന്റെ
സൂചകമാക്കി
കണ്ണും നട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു
മഴവില്ല് പണിമുടക്കി
ഒരു കളറും വേണ്ടെന്ന്
പറഞ്ഞ് മഴവില്ല് പണിമുടക്കി.
എന്തിനാണ് മഴവില്ല് നിറങ്ങളോട്
കലഹിക്കുന്നതെന്ന് എനിക്കറിയില്ല.
ചില കുട്ടികളുടെ
ബ്ളാക്ക് ആന്ഡ് വൈറ്റ്
ഉടുപ്പുകളോടായിരുന്നു
അതിന് പ്രിയം .
മഴവില്ല് പണിമുടക്കിയാലും
ഒന്നുമില്ലെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞ് കേരളം
എന്ന ഒരു പക്ഷി നെടുമ്പാശേരിയില് പറന്നിറങ്ങി.
ഇതൊക്കെ നോക്കാന് ആര്ക്ക് നേരം?
പതിവു പോലെ പത്രം ഇറങ്ങണമല്ലോ.
തിരക്കിട്ട് ഞങ്ങള് ന്യൂസ് റൂമിലേക്ക് പോയി.
പറഞ്ഞ് മഴവില്ല് പണിമുടക്കി.
എന്തിനാണ് മഴവില്ല് നിറങ്ങളോട്
കലഹിക്കുന്നതെന്ന് എനിക്കറിയില്ല.

പഴകുകയും പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുക
ചിതല് വരുന്നത് ചിലപ്പോള്
മണ്ണിലൂടെയും മനസ്സിലൂടെയുമാണ്.
മണ്ണില് അവ പാകപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന വ്യവസ്ഥ
അവയ്ക്ക് സമാധാനം നല്കുന്നു.
പഴകുകയും പ്രാര്ത്ഥിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുക
എന്ന ഒരു ദ്വന്ദം അവയുടെ
കാലത്ത മന്ദമാക്കുന്നു.
ഒരു ധൃതിയുമില്ല എനത് ഒരു സ്വയം പൂര്ണമായ
യാത്രതന്നെയാണ്.
എന്നാല് നമ്മെ ചിതല് വന്നു
മൂടുന്നത് ചിന്തിക്കുകയും ചിരിക്കുകയും
സ്നേഹിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുമ്പോഴാണെന്നത്
ഒരു വിഡ്ഢിച്ചിരിയില്പ്പോലും ഒതുങ്ങുന്നില്ല.
മനസ്സില് അവ വന്നാല് പിന്നെ
എല്ലാ മറക്കാന് തോന്നും.
മറക്കുന്നില്ല.
മരിക്കുകയാണ് ഓര്മ്മകള്.
ഓര്മ്മകള് നിരുപദ്രവകാരികളാണ്.
എങ്കിലും നമുക്ക് അവയെ പ്രേമിക്കാം .
കാരണം ചിതലുകള്ക്ക് ഓര്മ്മകളെ വേണം.

വെറും പൂവ്
ഒരു പൂവ് വിരിയുകയാണ്,
ഒരു മുന് വിധിയുമില്ലാതെ.
ഒരു കാറ്റില് ഒരു പ്രണയം,
ഒരു ചലനത്തില് ഒരു കവിത-
ഇതൊന്നും ഉന്നമല്ല.
ശരിക്കും ഓഹരി വിപണിയും
ഡോളര് വിലയും നോക്കി പൂത്താല്
എന്താണെന്ന് ചെടികള് ചിന്തിക്കുന്ന
ഈ കാലത്ത് പൂവ് ഒരു സന്ദേശമോ
സൂചനയോ ഒന്നുമല്ല.
വെറും പൂവാണത്.
വെറുതെയും പൂക്കാം.
