Even Then… Poem by Pallab Chaudhury

You know, how he has deceived many,
even then!

When stars of the dark sky will move apart
To intensify darkness;
When darkness will stand before the other darkness-
You'd hear whispering- So darkness!
Crossing over a land, water and a sky
And turning around the black-hole edges
If you come back-

And stand before me-
To the best of my knowledge
You'd find the lean flow of the rivulet
And the sounds of air that I breathe!
