The zodiac with
detergent powder
by
Partha Sarkar
Silent mutilated disturbance.
The abstract kite in the blue
water.
The horse for mail without letters.
The path to civilization!
The pain.
The pains.
The distracted asylum.
The ups and downs night and day.
A goalpost in the nerve.
Who kicks the ball?
In leisure, everyone is thin climate
And
The thoughts =
The flyover to reach the abode
of the trident =
Pegasus to carry fire to inertia
=
The lifelong imprisonment
(if you are in a fossil under
the mace)
Partha Sarkar, a resident of Ichapur, a small
town of a province West Bengal of India, is a graduate who writes poems
inspired by his brother, the late Sankar Sarkar, and his friends (especially
Deb kumar Khan) to protest against social injustice and crimes against nature.
His poems have been in different magazines both in Bangla and in English. He
once believed in revolution but now he is confused because of the obscurity of
human beings, though he keeps the fire in his soul despite this.
