Poet: জিললুর রহমান
How could you suppose you can cage me,
In such a republic, Plato?
...
What does the Heaven avail a woman?
A virtuous, a vestal has to face seventy satina (step-wife)
Yet, my mother has no nuisance to spend time on her prayer rug
A bright prayer sore dances on my father's forehead
...
Wax asleep of memory melts on incitement
Mind melts when lover cries for nothing
Once Soviet melted along with the clocks of Dali
Non-Aryan eyes of youth, astonished seeing to melt
...
The unruly bird of fear flies toward the west
Ashwina morning seems very worried season
Wings carrying
...
Let's Have A Breath
Let's have a breath today
Still not imposed
Tax
Vat
On air to breathe
So there is no
Gratuity-gratuity game
Salt oozes from lazy afternoon
Sweat drops
Air blows
Afternoon lazy enough
Ashy dove flies
About the yard
Air breezes at the centre of cross-roads
Butterfly on the sky
Love exudes
Paraffin wax oozes
If air flows in the lovely breezes
Untimely
Let's move
Breathe air in the lawn
