Bagmati Railway Station Comments

My favourite :)

This is a brilliant poem. The tone is respectful and measured which makes the understated grief much more honest and powerful. You use noun phrases very well to illustrate Indian death customs which are so different from western burial practices. But your poem also shows the universality of grief and confusion all human beings feel about death, regardless of our differing customs. I was very moved by this poem. Its honesty is equalled by its respect.

Every ghat is a railway station. What an imagery! ! I have seen and had similar feelings myself (though it was not at Bagmati ghat) . I like it. Thanks.
