Sarojkanta Dash Poems

They say
It’s a secret.
Wind steals a way
Under the knotty tree,
...

Strum! Strum!
On some nerve
You played on.
...

They killed me instantly
Naked
Primitively bloody:
The dhol dragged me out
...

(No wound to heal Time
I’m in safe hand!)
Be that light for me
I can bathe in
...

Today I'm fasting.
I won't take:
Messages from friends,
Their roasted heartbeats
...

I listen to your tiptoe
In the silence of night
Winds sing to you
And my heart
...

Stop!
And wrap the heart with a sigh
Try if it could be chucklesome
And garish:
...

Flickering fire
Hides itself
In the sparkling eyes of
A damsel-
...

A pox on your hospitality!
My friend is a friend
And let him remain one.
Let our alliance run
...

Wrapped in polished khaddar
Wherever he moves
-That smelly thing-
...
