. mising people’s festival call Ali-ai-ligang
mising link
of people
sandy river beach
the chang-ghar
call okums stands on
on this floating piece of earth
festivals
signifying
fears no furthur
invoking donyi-polo
the sun and the moon....
...the chants collides with the rhyme
[donyi-polo donyi-polo
asman se kuchto bolo
kisne yeh sansar banaya
kisne hame jag mey basaya
jungle
nadi
pahad
banaya
hati
bhalu
sher
banaya...]
o, abotani
pray we for fertility
o, kine-nane
we pray for prosperity

lamenting

children on sands
sands on children
sands of time
they have to wait
to find mising link
for the island
majuli is in sink
world is small
like this big river island majuli
mobile phone rings
number numb
grahem bell is well,
[I call my friend in America grahem,
grahembell invented the phone
never called up his family
because they were dumb]
how are you
where are you
voices
half linking
half sinking
preparing for
Mardi gras festival
where
new orleans on february 16
here
we are celebrating
Ali-ai-ligang festival on february 14 in majuli
Mising people are looking good
In louder voice
What is mising
Ok
Cannot hear you
Write more on e-mail
Link missed
Oye-nitom and karpumpuli
The mising people sings on
