Volga 1 - 3

( while taking a tour through those poems readers are requested to keep in their hands,  a
feather from the pea-cock’s tail )

Volga - 1 

there might have been some provocation 
on the part of the  rat’s bible  

it is not known when and how 
every piece of sleep that spatters  
from the oesophagus of the dip-swimming  
has stick to the c-sharp 
of the newly-purchased tooth-brush

the air within the wish-bicycle 
figures nothing less

how much is it necessary now
to murder the blue-hue  with the study 
that can be saved by the depression of the Ganges-basin 
to develop the snap-shot of the garland-exchange with the 
antiseptic cream

would you think it for some moments 
my lord
the lord of the market

before sending any secret e-mail 
to the cyclone 
residing in the room 
behind the stair-case
let the Volga be read once more 
with all its clothes 
and hair-styles 

Volga - 2

the winter of the water-canon 
oxidised by the fireflies
wants to touch every bamboo-flute 
of this soil, it seems

as if it plays
in the body of every cauliflower 
 the total memorising-skill 
of  the blue and yellow pyramid

and if some lines of changes 
in the planet be added
the birth-day of the bolster 
that goes to the sea
may learn with a lesser effort 
the pollen-efficiency of the nail-marked walls

how much should I scold the squirrels 
who don’t want to swim
in the still-water of the black-board  

Volga – 3

the green-circuit of the fried-almonds
that was submerged 
in the open-hair of the afternoon
the whole-night workshop 
has taught 
the thumb-impression is to be put 
how far below it 

if the autobiographies are planted 
into the drawer of nature 
the solubility of the river-reed 
gets it done too late at night 

all the plus-signs around
from their etiquettes
come down   

so many foot-notes
caused by the season-changes

so before planting life 
to the address of the wall-lamps
it seems the cotton-flower
written by the oceans 
began yawning

Lines More Lunatic Than the Sun 7 - 8

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 7

playing on the raw-coal 
the under-clothes of the airhostesses 
continue to sing a song

even-then the germination of the almonds 
can never become the sugar-candy 
made of palmyra 

may be they don’t want so 

until and unless any night-guard comes 
and deposits the RBCs of the jack-fruit-leaves 
within a wrinkle-free hand-glove

you do absorb all colours 
from the soil of the earthworms
and thus unfold your open hair 
along the air of this cloudy day
then none but the gughni-sellers
will get back their names and titles

there is from the sky of the timber of hog-plum 
it has rained even last night
the streets are wet 
the trees are wet 
there is splashing mud in the low lands

those all full-of-incidents 
if you wish
you can send them 
to the introduction of a proposal against war

i’ve never heard that 
to take the responsibility 
of the starving south-east
the rain has put down its crown


Lines more lunatic than the sun – 8

all on a sudden 
one day again 
i face the isabgool 

the own fountain of vraj-kishore 
may be, wants to fly away in such a manner
to another afternoon

my tiffin-expenses cann’t discover that valley
till now 
from where 
it is said 
all night-gowns begins

then i’m sitting
with my hands and legs spread 
      in the sun-light  
filled with 
      		the sound of chopping of cabbages

on the flowers of the sun-plant 
that are in-between the wife and her mother-in-law 
i exercise my intelligence very much

if the question of my security is raised 
it is only a ‘for-God’s-sake’-like adjuration

the knot of a white handkerchief is so much heavy 
i don’t know earlier
my knowledge of using prosody
getting amalgamated  calmly 
with the stamen used by the sleep

Lines More Lunatic Than the Sun 1-3

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 1
.
making my friendship with the water-pigeon does not mean 
that i’ve acknowledged all devotion of the land-lotuses to river
without putting any note of dissent  

i’m still plunging my face 
into the heart of 
black-soil 
white 
is my thirst in clouds 

sometimes I wish to exchange the headlights 
of my flesh and blood 
with a ocean 

and put my palms 
together with regards 
to say to my all time-cheerful chest-pocket 

oh master let the age of my shadows 
be not more vivacious
than the flower-bed after marriage 

and without the help of any civic key 
let the drinking-bowl of an wish-baul 
walks as it wishes
							along my lips 

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 2

I offer so much love to the orioles

after then
	some defeats on the upper-level of the pea-leaves
have gathered somehow

then, the juvenescent white esculent fruit 
that has a conch-shell shape 
or the restless thunder
no one agrees to take the onus of maintaining my 
feeding 
and clothing 
and sheltering

on some compulsion 
I run to a grammar 
produced by the water

it is her indulgence with which 
I install forest in the mausoleum of the plural noun
install blending of sounds and compounding of words
and on reaching to the realisation of liberalism 
I install a notun-bouthan also

I get pain very much
on observing the memory of the bicycle

to the laugher and weeping  reserved for me only
why… without taking my permission… she sends 
such an apprentice
in the hands of whose a-c machine 
there is no fire-work  
at all

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 3

just in the middle of the bad luck
I cultivate 
some more boutique print

in the accident-prone foot of the kadam-tree
I deploy
a special correspondent of my own

putting my affidavit to the silk-worm
with myself 
	I’m going to start
			bihu-dance
in the juhu-beach 
Solo

comes to mind that date…i don’t remember..
 when together in the bus-stand
you and me
we were both speechless

to your that silence
was offered my bread and butter

then  in your those wide eyelids 
for a moment 
wasn’t put the shadow of any handkerchief 
made of clouds

after then the epic of the mice started

like the creeper and the tree
the servant with the maid-servant
in that enlarging fire
the cloud was burnt
the water too

from the tooth-ache there took birth
the nail-polish 
the hawai chappal 
my FM

Paper Buckles 5 - 6

4.
on this spine 
having a mouth of crocodile
always jump down 
the climate     

everyday 
the sunglass changes 

look at the soil and the sky 
no one of them has any body-guard 

the open mouth of the light 
swallows the grey coin 

here the wall becomes more tamed 
the wild jasmine comes nearer to the heart 
and hums 

then ripping open my veins 
should i also vomit the blue elocution 
accumulated on the cock-pit 

after recovery of the flower-mill from fever
the harmonium is being played on  

even introduction with the gas-balloon 
has not been done yet

5.
arrangements are being made
 
the green shirt will gradually 
turn reddish 

the culverts that have become exhausted 
within the travel-format
will get recharged again to sit up straight 

and the hawker will get passed the silent-home 
shouting with undressed coconuts in hands

from the lap of the stand-still rocking-cradles 
of the children-park 
the amaltas will say 
i’m ready 

then to escape the sun-shine 
the boy who comes to attend the private tuition 
will embrace… oh margosa … its your pierced-heart 

you may tell him that the name of the girl 
who is eating guava and swinging her legs 
sitting on its branch is munni 

6.
the horse is running 
just above 3 feet of the yellow cornice
 
his back is full of dreams 
or a girl named miss dorothy  

around it is the mid-night 
around it is the wind that wants to be printed 

and in every corner of its flying 
are hundreds of skirts
  
all are of free-size 

what may be their market-price 
there is no shop-keeper there

in that valley 
a shadow is proceeding on 

do you know whose shadow it is
he is philip the teacher who gets irritated easily
 
this time there is no thin cane 
in his hand 

in the pieces of papers dumped in the waste-box 
under his window there is a manuscript eaten up by the worms 

there is ‘darling’ there 
and ‘yours beloved greta’ 

in which skirt 
a touch of that greta does remain  

is it being searched even today 

is it greta or margaret or eliza  
there is no bar if it is dorothy
 
in whose smell there is no greta 
who has no such horse flying just above three feet 
of the yellow cornice  

each mid-night fills the fountain pen 
with the flow of blue ink

A Poem Regarding Evil-Company

a poem regarding evil-company

thus do learn to tolerate the blow of wings
of the most inflammable flesh 

after the successful sacrifice of the student-hostel 
jumping into the peacock-foams 
how dangerously is changing the total travel-route of the nail-polish

in the high tide of the coconut-kernel 
that conquers the world
today the water-pigeon gets pain 

only by the flute made of palm-leaf 
can’t be written the pleasure-trip in boat 
of the injured-knee night-queen that is deposited heavily 
on the collar of the village-moonlight 

even-then the gramophone would be playing on 
even-then the courageous pheasant would proceed further 
to throw towards the squirrel a dinner-sleep

then all the daughters in disguise of birds certainly 
may come out from within the salted mosquito-net 
burning open-ground in their  eyes 

even after  
the small boats of the fig leaves                       
would slip from the chorus song 
of the roses

then they are to be pulled forward to the river-bed
of the late afternoon 

to make them understand again 

that such Xerox-centre which can ignore its metallic-birth 
does not grow even now  on either side of this muddy road 

so look at to see how the  epenthesis 
of the screwpine-leaf withdraws her beak from the old dome 

and pours 
all new mathematics

into the compact-disc stitched with the back of the sea-tortoise 

if that’s not real
how in the left and right 
such evil-company of the oxygen would creep 

if the next part of this commentary 
resumes from the umbilicus cavity of the x-mass 
would the blood-sugar of the water-plankton be rising continuously 

look there again 
the feather of colour that is in her adolescence  
touches the cold magnet of her gamut
to disperse the cherry orchards

now if the doors of this brown triangle be got open 

you can see on the screen one by one 
the projection of the apex-points of the red-palash 

and in the night-texture of the kathakali-kathak 
they are supplying continuously   
small sun-shines in poly-packs

The Canto of Begging - 1 To 4

the canto of begging

1.
when the morning sets in
with the sun rising in the east 
i put on the dress of a beggar 
extended up to the horizon
and the canto of my begging starts 

i beg 
beside the big-bazar 
beside the fly-over 
beside the college-campus 
beside the cow-market 

you then put your elbow 
on the body of the day 
giving a perfect and unbiased pose 
to attached to the album of life 

people of the working-class 
spread hither and thither
to write some more decimal fraction 
on the notebook of life

2.
in the dusts and soil of rural-bengal  
in the testament written by the grass
i am a son of the immortal 

my begging-bowl is the most 
favourite go-ahead of a alone man

then speaking around are 
the chop singara aluposta 

and the love-story of a hyacinth  
blooming in the pond 
blind by mud 

also in the overflowed dustbin of the city 
waiting rightly with an erected head  
the excitement of your absence 

3. 
coming to this canto of begging
do you know 
i  enjoy both 
your intensity and your sharpness

your secret current flows me to the pore of the skin 
of the body of the puller of a hand-barrow
your cold attracts me 
towards the syllabus of waning moonlight  

i do realise now that the stale afternoons 
saved in my pocket
stitched so many new muscles 
with my vocal chord

and i’m howling in joy…
 
4.
what’s an enjoyment… hahaha…day after day
spending too much chaos 
and living to so little extent
tell me is it the least 

within the left-over on the leaf-plates
after eating by the baboos 
i can discover more and more
love 

the mango tree the grass-hopper my begging-bowl
and from the tune of the laxmi-panchali
coming from the middle-class houses
listen, how flourishing is my mother-tongue

Sigh of Sin ? (Part - 4)

you may say now 
those demerits relate to the seeds of the gm oranges
but just think the scanning of hibernation of the philtre
or of the kite the thread of which is cut off
they can’t escape their responsibility too 

then tell me to whom i could give 
my sad melting point   

but then to do any work means 
this trigonometry 
outside the territory of copyright 

then the connection of the biscuits 
with the thoughts of the fire-works 
is clearly dismantled 

the border-zone of all relations thus keep themselves apart 
and due to a sharp difference in the chromosomes of sand-stone
our dwelling-house becomes a museum 

to build a hospital with a big moustache 
at last within the hypnotized company 
the shadow of our bed-room appears

then the light of the social moon  is like the materials 
with which the inner parts of the sorrows of the pomelo 
is made up 

it may be well for making great 
the art-work of the horse-rider 
that is wrapped with the handkerchief of ocean   

it must be waiting for my shampoo-power too

some cure may be offered by the paraffin 
and her open hair

but one deed of the rose-petals
and the convex sweet drops of molasses  
is the flame of thumb-impression 
that is born and brought up by the pan-cake 
in-between sauce-pan and peter pan 

in this all-pervasive panorama of slang-opera

Some Cherry-Blossoms Regarding Longevity

1.
the crystallised handkerchief 
of one’s span of life

your handloom-bird brings with its lips 
some musical notation of the nimbus  

holding that waves within the heart 
how much growth does occur 
to the sandal-line of a man 

or 
it does 
fall 

the blades of grasses are known well 
to be vegetarian 

the eyes of the reindeer 
have cent per cent smelling of fish 

then what translation would you suggest
for the fingers of wild titlark 

the shirt 
they have put on the body of this night-stone 

what best word-meaning does match it 
but land-lotus 


2.
i’ve re-constructed 
all the trees and plants

with 
the dry straws grass twigs collectively
fetched by beak

and the monsoon 
as well

the full-brim of vodka 
is deep in the palms

in that moonlight 
a sleeping-tablet 
does take a dip-swimming 

within her enfolding 
there may be the whole works of rabindranath 

from the breathing of cd-player 
spreads around
the sound of horse’s hoof  

there is the bed-sheet of dusts 
on the anger 
kept bound within the cover of rexin 

it’s true 
our vineyards are still 
prone to stones 

then it does not seem 
that the boiled moon sets  
into the tea-cup  

3
in your songs 
still lies 
immense green 

the bed-room is too 
very bright 

the walnuts 
walking along the path 
that touches the rain-shore 
make me think likely 

on a sunday 
kept in an envelop 

when the bedcover of the early morning 
speaks frankly 
what’s in its mind 
to the soap-water 

the ears of the horse 
in the wall-calendar 
look very crazy

i can remember 
one day
the sun-boats would tear their wrappers 

their whisper would want to discover
the inclinations and thoughts of the creepers and herbs 
possessed by the lady-volunteers 

their yawing would notice
so many unused handlooms 
taking a run-away on the clouds 

now 
would the cat  under the beautiful jersey 
finally think of waking up 

then i’ll go 
to deposit the clever apples 
along with 
all the triangles accompanying it 
to the nearest cold-storage

Volga 4 - 5

Volga – 4

to the homoeopathy phial
standing on the traffic-island 
why it appears 
within her womb
the number of germinated nights
stolen without a kiss
is too little

is then it true 
if all the chanting of Harinam
can’t be withdrawn from the alcohol
the body-odour of the running tamarisk-shrub  
will enter into the circuit-house

and that devouring of the parchment 
brings to the feelings of the non-veg ant-hills 
the let’s-go-cure 
gathering in the sauce-island 

Volga - 5

coming to this ironed canal-side
every auto-rickshaw  
wants to know and let other know 
the mystery 
behind  the rice-rain 
from the cirrus                                                

the shame in the eyes of the seal containing signs
supplies the whole-sale dealership 
of the civil disobedience movement 
to the locality

the role of the hammer also 
wakes up early in the morning 
to put under its own tongue 
an antacid 

is it possible that the spits 
used in the observatory 
be made a little more fast-moving 

manuscript of the basement of a well

the biography of the pond-heron will be scripted
even-then the productivity of the merry-go-round 
wouldn’t be uttered for a moment 
no sir, such has never been expected 

in the liquefied banana-blossoms
too many hot breads resulted from the season-change 
continues to bat  vehemently  
and climbs to the peak of heart-throbbing runs 

they in a group will go to the 
aqua anetha of the mole hill 
to organise a folk-song 

to understand this 
no arbitration of the cactus is required

notwithstanding
it is heard that the thread was pulled 
by the violin of  the wife of the moon-god
from behind the screen 

here in the eye-front
is the basement of the morning-well 

on its one page lies the faulty  crow-caws 
and on another some sun-shines 
swinging on the hanger 
after some pages in recurring …the chicken-pox … the boot-polish …

within the two covers of the dance-drama 
also comes the creepers and herbs 
grown around the melting point 
of the arm-chair 
whose legs are broken 

if each pore on the skin of the river-lily 
becomes so much known 
then in the background of this low land

let us have one game more

The Earthy Habitat 9

the last tram passes away 

the boy 
who is the owner of  every parted-kite 
sits lonely on the empty bench of the park 

and makes it enlightened 

in one pocket 
he has few pieces of dry breads 

in another 
the air to play on bamboo-flute 

the night is filled with 
mushroom 

all the shout within the dialogues 
gradually becomes weak 
and vanishes  

there is no tangle in the 
hair 

the bier of the hindu-satkar-samiti 
runs away
causing a quake in the locality 

some needles 
small medium and big 
are doing their morning-walk 

on the thread-line
that is the secret of a phoenix
