印度诗友A.K.Das 不久前寄来他的新作
AMBULANCE（救护车），要我给他提点意见，我建议他做些修改调整，然後寄给《新新闻诗》试试。昨天接到他来信说已在《新新闻诗》上发表，非常高兴。这位不曾见过面的诗友，是印度一位退休的公务员，常对印度社会上的贫富不均所造成的现象提出批评，对下层阶级的贫苦民众抱有极大的同情心，我常给他加油鼓励。他似乎很喜欢我的诗，曾替我在印度找人翻译成印度文在报刊上发表。

AMBULANCE
by
A.K. Das
A
day after a tribal man had to walk 10 km carrying his wife’s body
on his shoulder in Odisha’s Kalahandi (India) after failing to get
a vehicle from a government hospital, a probe was ordered Thursday
to ascertain the circumstances which led to the incident. Image
source: The Indian Express, August 25, 2016.
The
snow-white body, red beacon, siren
fitted on the top,
the
ambulance waits at the hospital’s gate
for
emergency calls.
A
tribal man pedaling his pregnant daughter
to
hospital, bringing back home
the
mother and her newborn
again on his bicycle;
a
poor laborer walking on foot,
dead body of his wife on his
shoulder,
his
little daughter following behind
in
teary, stunned silence;
two
men carrying on a dangling pole
a
load of mangled, broken corpse
of
a woman;
they all call frantically—
but
no ambulance for them.
Yet
the snow-white body, red beacon, siren
fitted on the top,
the
ambulance waits patiently
at
the hospital’s gate
for
an emergency call from a VIP –
ready to move out,
speeding, blaring, flashing red
light
through the snarling traffic.
A.K. Das, a retired civil servant in India,
has had three books of poetry published:Another Voyage, Skyline
Aglow, and Cherry Trifle.
