The Earth, My poem
My pen is the hammer in the blacksmith's hands,
I hammer words into shape as sharp as the
farmer's plough-share, the golden Sita on
the furrows, ragged like the carpenter's saw,
I extract from the grains of hard timber,
words strained by the blood of experience,
like sure arrows from the Santhal male's bow,
words become ardent in my blood, flesh and desire,
some of them stand high as mountains,
some lie low like rivers,
while others are low like grave as lake,-
not at anybody's beck and call.
I am a poet of the vast continent
studded with rivers and mountains,
the earth is my poem.
(Asamiya Poet Hiren Bhattacharya)
