ദിഗംബര

അറ്റമില്ലാതെഴുന്ന ഭൂമിക്കുമേൽ
ഒറ്റ ഞാണായ്
വലിഞ്ഞുമുറുകി ഞാൻ
വിട്ടുപോരാതിരുകൈത്തലങ്ങളാൽ
കെട്ടിനിർത്തുമീ
ആകാശവില്ലിനെ
വന്നെടുത്തു നിവർത്തി
സ്വപ്നാവിഷ്ടജീവിതത്തിനെ
കാലം തൊടുന്നപോൽ
പേടിയോടെ
അഗാധസ്നേഹത്തോടെ
വന്നെടുത്തു നിവർത്തി
അപാരത ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കി
തൊടുക്കുകയാണിതാ
രാത്രിയിൽ
അവൻ
നക്ഷത്രകോടികൾ

Digambara*

A lone  bow-string
I stretch taut
above  the endless earth,
.
Taking in  his two hands
this sky’s bow
strung tight,
raising it
like time
touching life
possessed by dreams,
with fear,
with intense love,
he holds  the bow
targetting infinity
and shoots into the night
millions of stars.

*Digambara(n) is one who is clad in the sky, the naked one.

* 22.05.1968, in Kerela, Inde
Réside à: Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram, Inde

Anitha Thampi was born in 1968 in Kerela. She is a Malayalam poet with two collections of poetry to her credit. Her first book, Muttamatikkumbol (Sweeping the Courtyard), published in 2004, was chosen as “the best poetry book of the year” by the influential Malayalam newspaper, Mathrubhumi. Her second collection, Azhakillathavayellam (All that are bereft of beauty) was published in 2010 after a span of seven years. In 2007, her Malayalam translations of Australian poet Les Murray were published in a bilingual edition.

She has been translated into English, French, German, Swedish as well as various Indian languages such as Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Hindi, Assamese, Oriya, Gujarati etc., and her work has appeared in various journals and anthologies.

Born into a progressive political family, Thampi was the eldest of three girl children and describes her growing years “against the rural background of Central Kerala, the green expanse of which turned into crowded towns even as I grew up”. This still unfolding transition, she says, has left a deep impact on her work.

The dynamic tension between “the self and the universe, within and without” –the individual’s subjective consciousness against a vast impersonal expanse of external reality – lies, says Thampi, at the heart of all her poetry.

She currently resides in Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram
