Poetry
Caution
Md. Mehedi Hassan
Love is ok
till it becomes like
the curiosity of country-lads
when they go to airports
just to see
how aeroplanes fly
but putting on spotless garments
when you sit on your knees:
love is the water of Buriganga—
you drink, you die.
Md Mehedi Hasan occasionally contributes to The Daily Star Literature page; he is a lecturer of English at North Western University, Khulna.
