Poetry
"legend has it"
Susmita Chatterjee Paul
I
Barren streets
sweating and hallucinating
stretch their arms,
and legs
a shade,
a harbour
screeching rays
ooze over
the grassy greens
a brutal kiss of life
seeps down the viens
ravish and nourish
nurture and ravish
II
stretching its limbs
it ruffles the dreams,
dreams bulldozered and
bugged into insanity
by the holocaust
dreams pegged
down
under,
for the crusades to die
dreams that dare
to be conquerors,
not mere survivors
in the quick sands
...
III
the mellow dusk
has queries
that it spreads
on your platter
at dinner.
oblige it tonight.
