Entity chess
This was me sinking in grief
around grey midnight
kind of a lockdown occupied
my switched on subconscious.
Where so have I been
through this long time?
Did not find mysef at any place
did not locate me anywhere
believe it or do not.
Look for me every single spot
front and sidewise,up or down,
even center of a circle
Did not find any clue
on my being far and wide.
But I was on the floor in front
of the old sony television
but not there as if I was
floating along stone age.
Maybe static in inert matter
out of scenic urbanity.
Meanwhile a commercial
slowly appears on tv
where a sleek girl on screen
With a fascinating smile.
The glossy model appears
but does not exist.
It took a little time to know
That was stunning soft AI-
not be real, but act like
my kind safety net.
This was other state of me
appears, dances twinkle eyes
but not exactly there.
Therefore I found myself
In that beautified mist
I love it 'cause she appears
but doesn't exist.
Ongoing deer
I am the same girl same dust and Pearl
River erosion erase township stations hurl
Lava fountains shot seven hundreds merl
Spinning whirlwind uproot the banyan tree
But I am the same girl same singing bee.
Wildfires spread amazons rushing zones
Cold waves, dire storms stooping in bones
Ghastly drought withdraw rivers shiny claps
Turtle bird tiger horse grumbling with fear
I am the same girl eating fire a stubborn deer.
Severe rain flaps wipe out beggars tears
Deep woods running down heritiera fomes
Tigers are searching around their homes
Winter storms shake firm castles and pride
Still I am the same girl nobody knows I cried.
partying
Lights all flared up in a quiet forest
Crickets dazzled starry sky blunt
in our palm along with a bit working fate.
In half an hour every single hierarchy
academic brilliance corporate roofing
Fell apart in to pieces endorsed with memory
childhood, elementary schools and dates.
Before gearing up this organic party
We never knew under outfits it's been rusty.
But what a strange scenario appeared
all the songs performed in evening BBQ party
within everyone's spontaneous acquaintance
Alas, all modern and folk songs of long era
without any rehearsal or preparations
Started ringing in, took shapes in our heart.
we all became stars twinkle twinkle shiny
dancing all, disappeared unknown each other.
Moon marriage
Bride and groom dance on cloud
They look like sixty's bengali movie
Plenty of other couples join them moving
project is to make separation from ground.
Over and over claps and prayers
make them helpless, upcoming seeds.
Like soaps which come in two kinds-
One soap floats, the other kind sinks.
Marriage has the quality of both of them.
The way everybody keeps the wishing words
unanimously saying about sense of humour.
married life recquires comedy frame of mind.
They have to put illusion to the broken moon
with cloud, but cloud has to look path ahead.
That's the reason at the beginning of the event
Episode technician made some ambiguity
with smoke and clouds to cover face and faces.
Closing out hoods
By Baltimore pike the store Home depot
Still open people floss in floss out.
store packed with hardship, woods and crews
It's a town never sleeps, hangers hooked up
Whatever hustles dizzy busy hubs normal
All of a sudden handcrafts store peer one imports is not there anymore, just closed out.
It's just a store full jute products no soil seeds
With my family swang in swang out couple of times, that’s all, nothing more than that.
A gas station in front of us gas and go
Everyone going knowing, unknowingly to Gaza.
But how strange I got blue as long as I see
Doors peer one imports are not open today.
I immediately figured out just human
are not our friends, woods doors pals are be.
This is the time cruelty all over, kindness gone
Now a dead tree is our friend, furniture store
friends as well, whole neighborhood is now me
The world, nemesis, sky is my friend, sings bee.
