TODAY -
I am his Partner
K. Padmakumar *
A man who is not taken seriously by other people
A man whom nobody offers to partner, the man is my friend;
His unsophisticated tongue
I understand it as clear as day;
His droopy eyes
His confused footsteps
His discontented visage
There and at that moment, I am his partner.
Live I will with them, die I will with them
I am his friend, I am his partner.
(Translated from my father's Manipuri poem Ei Magi Michangni by K.Radhakumar.)
