•शाओनागगने घोर घनघटा, निशिथयामिनी रे•

A deep overcast covered the night sky,
hiding the moon and the stars behind,
away from my sight-
just like a mother,
hiding her infant from the unholy vision,
behind the pallu of her saree,
over her tired breasts.
Lightning sparkled,
ornamenting the dark cloud
and within a fraction of second it disappeared,
turning the cloud into a widow
sitting in front of the frozen body
of her husband with eyes numbed,
struggling to make the first drop
of her tears,
leading to a complete downpour,
fall.
And as soon as that first drop touched the soil,
a mysterious aroma of a forlorn glee was born.

Indrashish Roy aka Indra, Indu, Indeck, Ashish, Sonu, Polu, Zatch, passed away on 12th June 2021. Being high, he imagined himself as a real crow and so jumped from the fifth floor to fly. But instead he fell on the ground. Though it hurt a lot but the main reason of his death was the grief of being the only non-flying crow.

My alarm clock
rang an eulogy today.
Broken test tubes
made me a bed.
I plucked one
and swallowed.
My neck bled.
Little zombies gathered around,
feeding on my blood.
My bleeding neck
bloomed vanilla essenced death.
My ribs grew a grave
for my heart.
Today I died yesterday's death.

When yq finally opens after a 100 tries but you click on the back option as soon as it opens and so it closes again.

বাবা: আজ Godrej এর শোরুমে যাবো। একটা আলমারি কিনতে হবে।

আমি: কিন্তু বাবা "দামে কম মানে ভালো কাকলী ফার্নিচার"!

কয়েক মুহুর্ত পরে:

I'm neither here nor there.
I belong to that broken room
under the staircase.
I'm a metaphor,
a falling metaphor
that failed to make it
to their masterpiece.
I live in a poem
seeking home.
You call me a poet's disgrace.
I wear the disgrace
that you throw at me.
That's the only thing I got
of his,
of her,
of home.
While you spit
at this disgraced metaphor,
I worship it as love.
