208 third Sutra 28 Dec 2004, Bingil Bay It’s none of us going to India this time but India coming to us on screens as the ocean comes to the people of Mammalapuram, on the eastern shore. These poems congeal and the poets are still not ready. 7 The shoreline temples, the giant boulders, the carved elephants are not enough to hold back the fury of earth’s waters. Where once was tourism and haggling is now carnage and despair. Where is the woman who sold me the sarong Where are the men fixing nets Where are the children and the puppies Where are the shopkeepers, 7 Suniti Namjoshi in her poem “Nov 1970 Cyclone in Pak.” asks if the poets could be ready the next time a disaster of this magnitude occurs. And in 1991 she answers her own question saying, that they are not and never can be. Suniti Namjoshi. 1993. St Suniti and the Dragon, p. 52.
209 the young man from Kashmir who sold the thanka that now hangs on my wall The shops selling souvenirs have filled with mud. The fishing boats and a tangle of nets are strewn in the streets and dead fish line the pavements. Meanwhile, houses and their inhabitants are drowned at sea. I can no longer play ocean and boat. December 2003–March 2005
