To accompany monotony


(From my poetry collection 'The Nameless Avenue') 
Joy
Let the mowing cattle
mow in the jungle of desolation,
leaving the bamboo coup
to rustle a complaint
over grim seasons while
emptiness masons the vacant river

The summer’s temper
pursues, beckons and
woos the sojourning bird
to make a cajoling call
for joy is always gingerly!

Look, how the Velato  cowherd
tackles boredom 
and the bird’s innocence
replies him

joy blooms up
his face beaming
         in choosing a partner
         to accompany monotony
         Some times joy
         behaves gingerly
        Vaiyavan
