Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

Without dipping the nib
Into the ink-pot,
Struggling to publish,
Doing the proof-reading,
...

The dark daughter
Dark you, dark the world,
Dark the Creation,
Where to go?
...

The cinema halls
With the walkies-talkie photos
Of coloured and painted men and women
Depicted as heroes and heroines
...

Modern day mom
Breast-feed you please,
Not bottle-feed you.
...

“My love, how are you, how are you?
Are you fine?
Are you happy, my love? ”,
Said she slowly in a voice of her own.
...

Modern Indian English poetry of the modern age people,
New faces and voices
Beginning to write, struggling to make a way,
Parodying, emulating, copying, trying to perfect
...

I saw the girls coming to
And singing the songs of Tusu,
The small-small girls
With the statue of Goddess Tusu
...

Chriwallah, Churiwallah,
Churi, churi,
Glass bangles, glass bangles,
Take you, take you
...

Snowy caps of the mountains
With the snowfall,
Mist and fog,
The gusty winds blowing hard
...
