A poem from Samita CHATTOPADHYAY (India) : LUNGE TOWARDS THE SUN

Lunge...

Lunge towards the effluent Sun...

Away

Away

Far far away

From this bovine darkness.

You have seen palmy days.

You have seen light dance.

You have seen how butterflies

Pander to whims of flowers...

You have finished half cup.

Reminisce, you had your pap.

Have to finish another half --

May be it's stodgy, may be not...

Do not renege,

Don't abnegate...

Run... Run... Run...

You have a rendezvous with sun...

Mull over how light

Let the resolute door of night

Burn…

Look, how the sun creeps into the murky den…

Real fun…

Don’t demur,

Just run…
