The Daily Cleaner's Routine View/ Indian Summer Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The Daily Cleaner's Routine View

To clean and dispose
Dirt and filth her job,
This her routine work,
No respite from
This dull and drab drudgery,
A worldview so different from
Romantic perception
So crude and raw
The experience
So laced with
Ground reality and earthly touch,
Monotony and boredom
Technical and mechanical
Connected with drudging,
Flush out, sewage, seepage,
Dumping of waste materials
Into the garbage heap.

Indian Summer

Indian summer is coming,
The blazing months
Of Chaitra and Baisakh
With parching heat and perspiration,
Thirst and humidity
When dust swirls it sometimes at
Taking noonday dreams
Ruffling and rustling it all
To pass by sucking blood,
Making it dry,
The heat wave blowing through
So uncomfortably
And we feeling it uneasy to bear with.
