Speechless moon! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

she tied her speechless moon to a millstone and after some frantic spanking she saw in his cloudy mouth the truth of the three worlds— a very fine poem. tony

An awesome imagery as also the poem. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.

Congratulations Meena Kandasamy

A powerful write of life's plights?

There's a reference in the last stanza to the incident of Yashodha tying little Krishna to a millstone for eating mud..Krishna was a divine child..so it was possible for Yashodha to see the three worlds in His mouth...but...here whom are you really talking about..I can't get it....of course a thought provoking poem

One of the best poems by Meena Kandasamy....................

So intense the hatred to unmask the fashion parade of civilization to show its gravity. In truest sense humanity perhaps a global concept to make people specially the solvents to cherish the broadness of mind refusing the reality of thousands and thousands suffered existence burning with fire of thwarted futility. Exposed variations are unique. Thanks for posting.
