Dutendra Chamling Poems

As children,
we marveled at the flights of Demossile Cranes
flying hither
from across the Koshi
...

Creeping for eternity
On a banana leaf
I was but
A glum caterpillar.
...

'No man ever steps in the same river twice' - Heraclitus
'To gaze at the river made of time and water
And recall that time itself is another river' - Jorge Luis Borges
...

Whole night
I gave you the moon and the stars.

When the morning came
...

Until the sky remains blue
Think, I am still not dead.
Like you, I had seen the sky in blue colour.
Until my thought about the sky has not changed.
...

Okay! Comrade! Okay!
I do respect and want to say Zindabad
but tell me first where is Inquilab?
...
