Kaithapram crafts lines rich with imagery, like ‘I’ll write thousands of words as high as a hill on the palm leaf script.’ The poet uses the ‘Harisree’ invocation and memories of a teacher to evoke a deep connection to language. Each verse sounds like a tribute to learning and identity.
Harisree Aksharam Naavilum ManalilumI’ve the ‘Harisree’ invocation’s letters on my tongue and in the sand.
Ezhuthicha Guruvine Oorkkunnu NjaanI remember the teacher who first taught me how to write.
Harisree Aksharam Naavilum ManalilumI’ve the ‘Harisree’ invocation’s letters on my tongue and in the sand.
Ezhuthicha Guruvine Oorkkunnu NjaanI remember the teacher who first taught me how to write.
Kunnathezhutholayil KunnolamaayiramI’ll write thousands of words as high as a hill on the palm leaf script,
Kunnikurupole Ezhuthaam NjaanI’ll write them out like bright red ‘Kunnikuru’ seeds.
Kaattile Kaviyude Sneha VaathamekameIt’s like the loving breeze from the poet in the forest,
Kamettaadhi Kaavyam Unarnna PoleJust as the very first ‘epic poem’ awakened.
Amma Nenjin Thaalkathil KonchiyunarthaamI’ll wake you with endearments in the rhythm of a mother’s heart,
Malayaala BhaashaMy beautiful Malayalam language.

Panchaara Manalil Punchiri EzhuthunnuA smile is being written on the sugary sand,
Ven Nurakaikal KadalkkarayilBy the white foam hands upon the seashore.
Angane Njaanini NjaanakumThat’s how I’ll truly become myself.
Angane Nammal NaamakumThat’s how we’ll truly become who we are.
