Rain's Grandfather Poem by Dwip Sarkar

Rain's grandfather



Seeing the sun go down-
The distant balloon tends to move downwards while walking

Descendants of sky, the nearest neighbor of the Sun
Silent wind blowing through the balloon-

The cows in the field are humbing
The face rises from the relief grass
The farmer returned after hearing the call to prayer-at home
Middle-aged Shravan's swarms at the
call of the season-

The chorus of rain in secret teeming
Some unsold darkness open the fillednight
Market place of the rains

Before going back-
Seeing the sun go down
Some benevolent empty Getting wet
Whose gave birth recently on the border wall
They are the grandfathers of the real rain
