A SONG 123

On World Poetry Day, Tuka and Kabira posted A Song on FB. No likes, no comments, no shares. They downloaded their song, jointly written, in abhang-doha style, folded it, put it in a cover, Speed Posted it, without address. The post office did not charge them as there was no address. The cover lies today in the Lost corner of GPO. Heard snatches of it in the film Awakenings of Rober de Niro.

Love is a kind song.
Song mobile,
birdsong,
in many tangs,
a whisper in a gong.
Gods and all want it;
earth has it;
earth bells earth songs,
lost in muds and swamps.
Sea and wind bring it,
sea song,
wind song,
sun song,
moon song.
On the Drive,
Tuka song, an abhang,
Kabira song, a doha;
strung together,
a song with no honks.
Love is a kind song.
