No More Poem by Ashraful Musaddeq

[Dedicated to Salma Begum]


The whole earth is waking up once again
Without the resurrection of unkind exit
She is leaving Torvald Helmer now
With simple slamming of a door

But Henrik Ibsen couldn't sleep alone
On the noiseless divan of the Doll's House
The barking dogs are becoming untamed
And you are Nora Helmer at midnight

No more shade or tears in the daybreak
No more past or tomorrow at the present
