The Hanumans, A Troupe Of Hanumans Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Hanumans
Black-mouthed,
Grey-haired
Hanumans
Jumping, hanging by
The branches,
Alighting,
Striding along
The road,
Pausing by the houses
To ask for
Food peculiarly,
For loaves of bread,
Bananas,
Cucumbers,
Biscuits,
Water,
Hanumans,
Black-mouthed,
Grey-haired
Hanumans.

Sitting by
The roadside,
Asking for
Food
With a troupe,
Father,
Mother,
Son and daughter,
One near the hut,
Another atop it,
Another by the tree
Hanging onto,
Eating the leaves
And going by
One by one
Hanuman,
Black-mouthed
Hanumans.
