Too often I stumble. Too often a helix hangs heavily in the air I breathe. Yesterday I was two cloves of crushed garlic. Two days ago on the perpetual snowline I stood. Today I am a shriveled beetle or The beaten snake is me. Now and then I stand with an unlit candle. Without …
ভরা রৌদ্রোরে লাখো জনতার ভীড়ে তুমি এসেছো মুক্ত হয়ে সবারে ম্মৃতি ভর করে, অন্তিমযাত্রায়ও ভুলেনি কেহ্ তোমায় আপন স্বজন হারানোর বেদনা যেমন তেমনি লেগেছিল মনে, ভেবে এসেছিল জানাযায়, ছিলে সবে ক্রন্দনে। দেখিলে তুমি অবাক হতে ! করিয়াছে তোমার লাগি শোক রেখে গেলে কর্মে প্রমান,তোমার আছে বিশ্বলোক। ভুলিবে না কেহ্ যদিও লুকিয়েছো তোমার দেহ রক্তের বাঁধনও …
