Dipak Sen Poems

I see trees burned black
Dead roses too
Nothing can bloom
No flowers new
...

Two unknown persons
They began their trek slowly
ever so slowly
step after step over pebbles,
...

pain is a permanent marker
unalterable like bad surgery
undoable like stomach knots
unremovable like coffee stains on carpet
...

After a fall you must rise
Pick yourself up for the next surprise
Lie there for a minute on thefloor
No bones broken but the body feels sore
...
