The Earthy Habitat 8

there are so many pieces of torn paper 
into the stone-chips of the broken road 

they are of summer 
they are of late autumn 

beside is the ice-mill
the glow-sign board 
attached tightly 

the indelible ink 
catches the finger of the lemon-grass 

the fish-market is also alive and glad 

the young minister of state
sends his best wishes 
to the handloom-girls 

in between 
some horn-blowing of the 
camels 

the labour-strike trembles 

the water of dhaleswari-river 
has been filled
with the sound of subsistence
