The Station Turns Poem by Neela Nath Das
The Station Turns
An almost solitary station,
two or three stray dogs
coil to get sudden peeping
ray of the sun.
A tramp staring with blank
eyes at us.
we are awaiting a train
to take us away to our destination.
A beggar with a baby of around
two months is also there.
The mother is caressing
her child, when she needs
care as she herself is
about twelve year's old.
'Where's your husband'
ask I.
No answer comes,
only some gibberish
utters she.
She is dumb.
She signals,
I come to know,
she is not married.
And..................
The station turns more
and more solitary.
Such desolate lives, we come across many a time in life, especially at the railway stations! The young mother abandoned after being used with her child evokes pity in us and and the pain we experience is intensified at the thought that she is dumb. A touching poem on an innocent victim of the cruel society! !
Only a true poet can make such an amazing observation filled with feelings. What is more, you describe the situation so lively with only the right words. I think this is a superb piece of poetry. Fantastic.!
A pathetic story that we witness oftener. Its the unique attempt of a great poetic work that you did rightly. A moving poem. 10
A story of real life for many, far above sad, a well written piece.
