Sukumar Choudhuri Poems

I can’t bite like dogs.
Even if I gripe, the malice cankers or not
I don’t know.
May be so the doctors
...

Do not make sounds. Please shut your eyes
If you can. Ask God to put off
Illuminations for a while.
It is a very distressing scene indeed.
...

How long does the corpse feel burdensome
As long as the body rests on the shoulder
From home to the crematorial flames. So long
Chanting of Hari Bol. Images on empty walls
...

So long as the tongue
Was in place
No holocaust was evident
Tourism was a synonym
...

And some late afternoons
become loaded with memories for him.

Sitting under the hot tiled roof, he perspires
...

Like a microcosm of a sapling
May these songs sprout

Silent and low born yet
...

We can talk about the relations on another day.
Then we will talk about each of the souls in here.
For today, simply check out the void of the free home.
...

The soul clears,
An awakening, a calm and a fullness,
A sense of letting-go spreads through the vitality
I ponder
...

This is all that is. Whatever is
Acquired,
Moments multiplied are needed.
...

Sitting in the empty booth
men will now
start gossiping.
There will be no procession, no festune
...
