Poetry 52 :: April-June 2010 THREE POEMS Arun Kamal Translated by Minu Manjari Gain AS Desire to pare pencil to the keenest point All that remained was a residual stump. As I can’t hear many sounds The sound of ants nibbling sugar The sound of petals opening one by one The sound of life sap trickling in the womb The sound of cells breaking in my own body In the fast, very fast blowing tempest of earth As I can’t hear many sounds There are persons who can’t hear The sound of gunfire in rapid bursts And ask-“what is the hue and cry on this earth?’
Such Is The Time Such is this time That the crop is reaped And it isn’t the time for sowing anew Fields are nude The soil looks dejected at this sudden exposure Shades of boundaries at a little distance Stubbles shine and Sheep graze far Mice holes And crushed earth before anthills Such is this time That what remains is old And the new yet remains to come. Arun Kamal, Born in 1954 in Rohtas, has published three collections of poems- ‘Kewal Apni Dhaar’ “Saboot” and Naye Ilaake Mein’. The last published collection also won him the Sahitya Akademi Award. Arun Kamal’s poems show a sincere effort to observe, to understand life. They have a keen insight into day-to day life. Nothing is preplanned here . Everything depends on the life that is observed . His poems also have a deep sense of morality. But it is not professed aloud. The implication, however, is clear-cut. He is professor of English at Patna University. April-June 2010 :: 53

Such Is The Time<br />
Such is this time<br />
That the crop is reaped<br />
And it isn’t the time for sowing anew<br />
Fields are nude<br />
The soil looks dejected at this sudden exposure<br />
Shades of boundaries at a little distance<br />
Stubbles shine and<br />
Sheep graze far<br />
Mice holes<br />
And crushed earth before anthills<br />
Such is this time<br />
That what remains is old<br />
And the new yet remains to come.<br />
