|| Malla Sahitya || Subir Ghosh



IN THE PRESENT HIBERNATION

No longer well is the woman, the forlorn,

not even any ripple in the great lake ,

only a handful of rice ---- that too

                                    in the late hours ;

pangs of thorns do not leave the feet .

She allows water to flow beneath the creeper .

 

In the present hibernation

She takes all the blame to her side

that’s stained by smoke from her old lantern.

 

But the female was not actually  out of company

even after she lost her colour and brushes .

Could she now recall when was the last rain ---

                                        the last heavy rain ?

And in those evenings full of muddy smell

her temple cann’t come out of the laziness .

In the forgone winter days

the unknown fog used to burst balloons.

 

SILENTLY PASSES THE SPRING


Why did you come , Rain ?

Don’t you know today is full moon ?

Moon has got hurt

and shouted a muck .

You melted the yellow of the chin

and put out the wasp

in the lock of blacky hair .

Who are now rolling back

and who do not stand by their  promise ?

Who else clipped the  wings

not having to fly away ?

Branches are lonely----morose----

the red Palash vanished .

Today is colour festival ,

where to find a dry spot ?

Not even your boobground is dry

to rub the powder colour.
