mother dog with her litter
text © Raj Arumugam. April 2008; painting by Yi Am, "Mogyeondo", 16th century, National Museum of Korea.
the invisible birds in the grove
held court in the trees
and the breeze made pathways
between the tall and unruly grass;
and the crisp morning air made my nose cold and wet;
and the walk pleasant and quiet
interrupted by the occasional tricky stone and slope;
and in company of random thoughts
and gathered whispers weakening of their own accord:
and then, unexpectedly, I saw the mother and her litter
in their quiet but active life
below a lone tree…I slipped by slowly, silently
careful not to be a rude appearance in their love and stillness
mother dog with her litter

kutti maan apnay bachon k saath
main subah saair karnay nikla
halki si hawaa chal rehi thee
ghaas main raasta bana rehi thee
paron par pakshi chpay baithay thay
raastay main pathar thay
bhari gharahi thee
main vichron main dooba
saair ka maza lay raha thaa
achanak hi ek pair k neechay
ek ktiya apnay bachon k saath baithi thee
main dheeray se apnay raastay pe chalta raha
un k apnay pyaar aur zingi main
koee dhkahal na kartay hooay
wah wah kutiya wah wah kavita

that is a beautiful poem . the painting is beautiful too , i love the smile on her face and the pride in her eyes (proud for her litter ), as she revels in her role as a mother .
