Moist hopes
In shadows
Wait into beads
Smudge mistrust
Onto sodden nights
Dank with defeats

A sweet bitter
A bitter sweet
Across the dust
On dusty feet
The green is grass
And the dark is night
She hates to be
And she hates the light
And she flees away
To tall that tree
To bury her
That the man may be

My village
`
On my calm river
A song floats
Across my paddy and jute
My brown people
My groves, ponds, homes…
Painting.
Its colour
Is my village.

And, be quiet
`
And be quiet
In agony
In the breath of women
The moon faltering
In painting
Dawn and mist
And drops waiting
In death.
