# White Night! Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

White Night!

Inside your footsteps I hear an echo
Now your breasts are swollen
Like this rounded earth
Like a far far away Milky Way
Love that Moon has shed
Has made a profound yet sublime pray
Around the softness of the Moonbeams!

Inside the vigor of the silence
I hear an echo
The last bird around the sky has gone for a sleep
The last honeybee
The ants inside
This earth now inside a dream
sleeping like a baby
And you smile
You penetrate
Like silent waves mute murmur around the dark river
You are awake
Inside my heart!
