The full moon pours milk
and a hundred thousand thoughts
surge in the sea of my mind
Once before
at a time like this
the gentle breeze lulled the coconut palms
bathed in moonlight
and music wafted on the silent air
the sky spread out like a blue canopy
under which we walked on the wet sand
holding hands as stars drew designs
while from the thatched hut
a song to the throbbing of drums
rended the midnight hours.
The full moon pours milk
but there has been no rain for three months
And as the sun scorches the crops,
and the tops of trees
Craning our necks
we look up in vain
Hands are needed to dig
to seek water
and we appealed
some young men responded and came armed
and vowed ‘We won’t rest
till we strike water.’
neighbors came with crowbars and pickaxes
and others sent them food
Who else could be so lavish, we thought
and decorated our streets with thoranams
We garlanded them and welcomed them
to the sound of drums
Having received those celestial beings
we took them round in motorcades
we were in a trance for over a month
But one day the gods turned into demons
they pestered us who had asked for a homeland
and our homes were destroyed
The transformed gods had to be appeased
with fowls and goats
with ornaments and houses
and wine and women
Not water but tears welled up
the youth were hunted for trying to dig
an unlawful well
and they went everywhere to give credence
to a pack of lies!
The demons were incited
to rob and steal and loot
we had sought to worship the crescent
through the murunga tree
but the crescent we saw
was on the fourth day
We cried, we wailed
Then one day the cyclone uprooted the murunga tree
and the demons vanished
The youngsters undaunted
started all over again the blasting of rocks
Some complained
that their sleep was disturbed;
they conferred:
“Without asking us?
A venture unheard of!
We cannot permit such nonsense!”
So the river was blocked
and the well ran dry
Parched crops and scorched groves
broken plams and cracked temples
and the ruined homes
the palmyra is blasted?
This is not the time to moan or mourn.
The full moon pours milk
The palmyra will sprout again
and grow erect
as impetuous as ever
never bending its knee
in the face of oppression
Let the throb of the drums
rend the late night air
Let the melody of the flute
pour nectar in our ears
At last we can walk, burying our feet
once again in the wet sand
The full moon pours milk!
Note :- Hindus consider it auspicious to worship the crescent on the third day after the new moon, but to look at it on the fourth day could bring misfortune.
