FOOL AND FLEA (Courtesy http://galleliteraryfestival.blogspot.in/2008/01/fool-and-flea.html)
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here
to join together
this fool and this flea
in holy matrimony
Fool will sing,
flea will suck.
Fool will work,
flea will pluck.
Both will learn
the virtue of obedience.
Fool will give up his freedom.
Flea will give up
whatever chance
she may have had
at happiness.
Both will die.
Fool first.
Flea so full
she'll burst.
THE SONNETEER (Courtesy http://www.cortlandreview.com/features/06/december/thayil.html)
I was famous, I won the Hawthornden prize.
Girls flashed me. One said, 'You're the poet, right?
What a godawful waste it would be, otherwise.'
I told her my talents would not last the night,
and it was a waste, you bet, any which way.
She said, 'Poetry boy, I don't give a damn.
I've got time to kill, make a sonnet for moi.'
'She hawks her beauty in the night,' I began,
and stopped, unable to motor my mouth.
One morning I stepped out for cigarettes
and hopped a subway to the south—
I thought I'd vanish myself and my debts.
For months she heard my step on the stair.
It wasn't me, brothers, I was taking the air.
MALAYALAM'S GHAZAL (Courtesy http://www.saltpublishing.com/saltmagazine/issues/01/text/Thayil_Jeet.htm)
Listen! Someone’s saying a prayer in Malayalam.
He says there’s no word for ‘despair’ in Malayalam.
Sometimes at daybreak you sing a Gujarati garba.
At night you open your hair in Malayalam.
To understand symmetry, understand Kerala.
The longest palindrome is there, in Malayalam.
When you’ve been too long in the rooms of English,
Open your windows to the fresh air of Malayalam.
Visitors are welcome in The School of Lost Tongues.
Someone’s endowed a high chair in Malayalam.
I greet you my ancestors, O scholars and linguists.
My father who recites Baudelaire in Malayalam.
Jeet, such drama with the scraps you know.
Write a couplet, if you dare, in Malayalam.
FOR AGHA SHAHID ALI (Courtesy http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02690050801954245)
Who among us will escape the hand of water?
No cheek, no eye is dry in the land of water.
Bolt tight the windows, the wind is fierce tonight,
Read the collected works, unsigned, of water.
Tomorrow, my love, we'll walk our bereaved city,
We'll see what the streets understand of water.
Last night the moon said your love would abide,
How wet are your eyes with the brand of water!
Someone is singing a widower's song in Malayalam,
I'm reaching for your hair, beribboned, of water.
Whn the starlings return to the streets of Manhattan,
Wake me. Till then am I a man, unmanned, of water.
In the Almanac of Rain you will find all my lines,
Each rhyme and refrain, each ampersand of water.
Jeet, meet Shahid, your guide to the future.
He'll teach you to play a baby grand of water.

An Experiment
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word "palindrome" was coined from Greek roots palin (πάλιν; "back") and dromos (δρóμος; "way, direction") by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. The actual Greek phrase to describe the phenomenon is karkinikê epigrafê (καρκινική επιγραφή; crab inscription), or simply karkiniêoi (καρκινιήοι; crabs), alluding to the backward movement of crabs, like an inscription which can be read backwards. The most familiar palindromes, in English at least, are character-by-character: the written characters read the same backwards as forwards. Palindromes may consist of a single word (civic, level, racecar, Malayalam), or a phrase or sentence ("Neil, a trap! Sid is part alien!", "Was it a rat I saw?", "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", "Sit on a potato pan, Otis", "Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas", "Rats live on no evil star."). Spaces, punctuation and case are usually ignored. Some palindromes use words as units rather than letters. Examples are "fall leaves after leaves fall", "First Ladies rule the State and state the rule: ladies first" and "Girl, bathing on Bikini, eying boy, sees boy eying bikini on bathing girl". The command "Level, madam, level!", composed only of words that are themselves palindromes, is both a character-by-character and a word-by word palindrome. A palindromic number is a number where the digits, with decimal representation usually assumed, are the same read backwards, for example, 58285. They are studied in recreational mathematics where palindromic numbers with special properties are sought. A palindromic prime is a palindromic number that is a prime number. A palindrome in which a recorded phrase of speech sounds the same when it is played backwards was discovered by composer John Oswald in 1974 while he was working on audio tape versions of the cut-up technique using recorded readings by William S. Burroughs. Oswald discovered in repeated instances of Burroughs speaking the phrase "I got" that the recordings still sound like "I got" when played backwards. In the automata theory, a set of all palindromes in a given alphabet is a typical example of a language which is context-free, but not regular. This means that it is theoretically impossible for a computer with a finite amount of memory to reliably test for palindromes. (For practical purposes with modern computers, this limitation would only apply to incredibly long letter-sequences). Additionally, the set of palindromes cannot be reliably tested by a deterministic pushdown automaton, and is not LR(k) parseable. When reading a palindrome from left-to-right, It is essentially impossible to locate the “middle” until the entire word has been read. Then there's this film...

Follow (Like) Mappila Pattukal on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Mappilapatukal Mappila Paattu or Mappila Song is a folklore Muslim song genre rendered to lyrics in colloquial Mappila dialect of Malayalam laced with Arabic, by the Mappilas of Malabar. Mappila songs have a distinct cultural identity, while at the same time, remain closely linked to the cultural practices of Kerala. The songs often used words from Persian, Urdu, Tamil, Hindi apart from Arabic and Malayalam, but the grammatical syntax was always based on Malayalam. They deal with themes such as religion, love, satire and heroism, and are often sung at occasions of birth, marriage and death. Mappila Paattu form an integral part of the heritage of Malayalam literature today and is regarded by some as the most popular branch of Malayalam literature, enjoyed by all communities in Kerala- published: 10 Jan 2014
