Altın Yaprak
Thumbappoo
a tiny white flower,
humble and unpretentious,
just the size of a grain
of cooked rice,
a symbol of peace
and eternal harmony.
The smallish
Thumba herb
announces
herself from afar
by her stark odour,
but the tiny flower
fairy-white
is sans fragrance,
sans music.
The simple blossom
has the shape
of a human foot
reminiscent of
the one that pushed
Emperor Mahabali
to the netherworld,
but now bows her head
in extreme humility,
at the tumultuous welcome
accorded by one and all
to the dethroned Emperor.
