Kushal Dutta Poems
Quiet and forlorn
The fragrant yellow mustard pollens
Spread in the air of the noonday flute
...
The moon beyond the bounds wakens
at evening, to the beat of drums
squatting at the rim of my arms
comes traipsing along to the barn
...
At one time everything slips into the past
Let me take it for granted
that I am flying in the sky
...
I have promised to break the arrow, dear...
I shall have to climb the huge
red-eyed mountain in the night
...
Her fault was she had been to the river to look at herself
The god of the river took her down to the water and that’s that
The one who jumped in to bring her from the water
...
... So vitally alive
Like the sculptured foreplay
of an eager couple
...
You are restless and fidgety
looking for the definition of nothingness
Please listen—
...
The one who knows, knows, that time and space are one
We, the ones who are unaware, divide it at our convenience
Hearing my grave voice (much like that of a college lecturer)
...
Tearing the water, grows on the water
The poetic scenes of the restless waves
By welcoming it and having seated it
...

The Best Poem Of Kushal Dutta
Phagun*
Quiet and forlorn
The fragrant yellow mustard pollens
Spread in the air of the noonday flute
Frenzied in the fragrance
A school of colourful fish
Through twigs and leaves
Of straight slender trees
Trample over the flowering mustard patch
Like a lightning strike
Yet phagun knows
The charm of flowering
On a still quiet night
At the edge of the moonlit heath Winged angels flit to and fro
As their wings flap
the fallen mustard blossoms
begin to breathe
***
*Phagun: Early Spring
(Translated from Assamese by Prof. Pradip Acharya)
