Poem
P.P. Ramachandran
Mushrooms
Ant lionsTurning ears to the dead ones
Relayed the news of the day:
The number of martyrs has risen
To six.
An uproarious laughter
That resounded beneath the earth
Like lightning
Erupted in mushrooms.
A calf grazing in the yard
Smelt one of them;
but, being herbivorous,
Left them alone.
