Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

The Iranian woman,
The Iraqi woman,
The Saudi woman,
The Afghan woman,
...

The night is dark and lonely,
It is silence inside and outside,
It is raining
And the folks whispering about
...

The pink lotus
So beautifully blooming,
The bud flowering into
The pink lotus
...

I think it about,
How have they dangled and drawn swords,
Bloody swords,
How have they fought crusades
...

Thoreau
And the Vedic tradition,
Upanishadi vision,
Puranic narrative
...

When we see the snake unaware
Or find by chance
Sitting coiled, holed in
Or peeping through,
...

I thanked God
When I saw
The kites,
Black kites
...

It is Kaushiki Amavashya,
I can see the people
Worshipping Kali,
Arranging for things
...

I too wanted to worship Kali,
Pay homage to Her
Visiting the temple
To have at least darshan of Her
...

The reddish-haired ape
Hanging by the branches
Of the tree,
Giving a close hug, embrace to it,
...
