Goes back toward the talisman—the future

by Partha Sarkar

 

Goes back toward the talisman—

The future—  

The cosmetic surgery

To find the bones of science

And returns with the dry smile of anemia

Yet, does not get surprised the hubbub

Signs on the papers

As tomorrow comes after yesterday. 

 

Partha Sarkar is a resident of Ichapur, a small town of the province West Bengal of India. He is a graduate who writes poems that are inspired by the late Sankar.

Sarkar and his friends (especially Deb kumar Khan) protest against social injustice and crimes against nature. His poems have been in different magazines, both in Bangla and in English.

Once, he believed in revolution, but now he is confused because of the obscurity of human beings. In spite of this, he keeps fire in his soul.



Bernice Holtzman’s paintings and collages have appeared in shows at various venues in Manhattan, including the Back Fence in Greenwich Village, the Producer’s Club, the Black Door Gallery on W. 26th St., and one other place she can’t remember, but it was in a basement, and she was well received.
