Winter Vengeance! Poem by Partha Pratim Goswami

Under a purdah of cluttering clouds
The Jupiter emerges at Orion
And a meteor runs across the sky;
They're hiding in warmth, for
It's still a little to morn!

Woods seem demonic in foggy hue
Silence runs creeping through the graveyard,
Turning little chirrup of the birds
Into a continuum of smirk!

The devil of lethargy breaks in
Through ripe oranges in frosty touch,
It sows own blood to reap poison!
What a trauma of the days gone…

But, there is, of course a streak of light
Reflecting the snowy mountains,
An urge to clear the lumps
And sprawl out basking in the afternoon sun;
Taking the breath in, passionately
To head towards the light
Up and far, much farther…
