The Best Poem Of Alakesh Kalita

Expectant Dog

Just for a break
from licking its own wounds
it licks on the bark of a tree
with inward thorns,
hoping so much
that the spot on the bark it licked on
soon becomes a wound itself
as fresh as and deeper than, its own.

Waiting as always
for numerous dung beetles
that come to adore the cakes of its droppings,
it falls in love
with once what it ate.
