Winter Ones
From the laughter of cherry blossoms
We travel to the silence of pines
.... .... ....
Dhanbad - Gaya - Dehri
The train grows roots
In between
.... .... ....
The oak tree -
We saw the humming bird nesting on it,
The passing monks bowing to it
.... .... .... ....
Baul in tomato
Pierces its heart
.... .... ....
From the white floss silk
to the weeping willow-
Rain makes an incessant swing
for the parrots
.... .... .... ....
In the rock garden of Jaintias
We stood among the monoliths
Which stood like pine trees

Greetings with painted feathers
soliloquies of flights to the unknown
fences melt in the sky
laughter of clouds
refreshing earth
smiles
towards dancing birds
jobless God
cried for help.
priests left the temples
crucified figure smiled and wept.
