Alienation Poem by Rajkumar Mukherjee

Alienation

Rating: 4.8


ALIENATION

the mail – train speeds away
in night’s slumber
to the north to the south
the running whistle
surges up the nocturnal wind

overwhelmed by the drones of crickets
the flashes of the fireflies
and the winter mist
I could never know
when thrown out
I lay facedown on the sidetrack

did anyone wave the departing signal - Rajkumar- Calcutta

liked it it seems you used fast speed and quick dismissal to portray something like alienation, which is quite smart
