Sharad Chandra Poems

I see them everyday
in the street, backyard, shops, houses
shining shoes
filling air in the cycle tubes
...

Some corpses lie motionless
on the shore kissing the sand
where shells used to be
others float unobtrusively
...

A loving husband, loving father
caring and concerned was Bhaskar
a good man, pliant, and polite
easy-going yet unyielding
...

Day after day
morning to evening
doing nothing
thinking a lot
...

The times we live in
have seven disintegrating features
noise, nudity, rape, violence,
terror, technology, and
...

He spends his life crawling
on his hands and knees
in the entrails of a dark tunnel
wading through mud and water
...

When tired of being alone
with myself in my room
I take a walk to look around –
dusty dawn, thirsty birds, lame cows
...

Sun Will Rise

There was light all around
I was happy and satisfied
...

Anticipation

Like sheep
at the approach of a storm
...

Circuit

It is always
the same story—
