Children’s Park



Two themes
Single pulse

Children’s park
Suicide

Giraffe-like trees
Breezy shades
Seesaws, Swings
Parents, Children
Frolic

Pesticide
Or hanging

Suicide
Easier
For
Crops failed
Defaulters

A crying child
Slithers
Down
The tongue
Of a cement tiger

Mother claps
Father claps
Fear now turns
Laughter

In sad kerosene light
A morsel,
Down
The throat of
A child

Mother takes one
Herself
Father hanged
A week ago

Suicide or park
About what shall I write?

First suicide
Then park

Let
Children
Of the suicided
Also
Come
And Play
In my park.
