Twilight At The Graveyard Poem by Kuldip Medhi

Twilight At The Graveyard



O' Soul, why is the sound
Of heart break so desolate
In the dead wind by the overflowing river-side

As if a gaggle of wild ducks flew away
Carrying ripe autumns at their beaks
The moonshine fainted by the mirror
In the midst of
A dream's course
The moon sank
In the landslide

My Soul, everything's over now
Twilight has descended on the graveyard.

(Translated from the original in Assamese "মৰিশালিত কালসন্ধ্যা" by Prof. Anita Baruwa)
