Night: A Cosmological Paradox Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

somewhere away the night awaits
to make me dry
somewhere away the night
to make us dry

we the bloody insects
now millions of millions
waiting to blot the night
or to blow out ourselves
not to be cascaded by that
cosmological trap

mankind once began its journey
to keep track for those who
crawling from behind to attain
something anew not known as dark
bugled as dawn formed by
love beauty and peace

now epileptic eclipses throughout
human thought always displaying itself
not to be bothered anything
whether heaven or hell
just only passing time the best reward
rained by cosmos

somewhere night awaits to make dry
our footprints, fingerprints and signature
as human child who once challenged
nature to save their offspring

just not awaits it acts speedily
to show us our cry-less proud postures
so cruel the beasts wild in jungle
roaring somehow the same way
to tear flesh and blood to lick
by the teeth and tongue inherited
from those primitive origin!
