Poetry

POETRY / A childhood memory

Dust patterns have gathered around my landline phone, huddling around the maroon. my fingerprints take some dust off of it, and they rejoice.

POETRY / Anonto prem

I wove necklaces of lyrics/ Which you'd wear beautifully

POETRY / Shedin dujone dulachinu bone

You know how that day the wind brought out/ The crazy thoughts I had in me all the while.

POETRY / Je chilo amar shopnocharini

You called me close in the moments of grace/ Veiling my delicate senses

POETRY / A building, a tree, and a kid

Buckets of water I pour on my head; my vision gets blurry./ "The blurrier, the merrier", my mother said.

POETRY / Narcolepsy days

For poet Abul Hasan Neither the pen nor the camera has changed 

POETRY / Saree

The yard in this noontime is buzzing with/ The white aroma of the guava flower

POETRY / Heartache

I’m going through a heartbreak

REFLECTION / The endless scream

A reflection on Mahmoud Darwish’s 'A River Dies of Thirst: Diaries' (first published by Archipelago in 2009)

Cyan is my name when I talk about you

I'm tired of living with this nagging thought that we'll cross paths someday, /You and I
