prata bhramana—
bada bapa, maa ebon pilamane
suryanka sathire
|
morning walk--
grand parents and children
with the sun
|
|
suryashta--
pakhimane pheruchanti
dhusar chanrda sangare
|
sunset . . .
the birds return
with grey moon
|
|
jharaka chitrakala
chandra lajakare
parada bhitare
|
window painting
moon close to her shyness
veiled in curtain
|
|
prastara marubhumi
pratichayara dhira sthanantara
durbala dalara
|
stretched desert
gentle shift of the shadow
of a lean branch
|
|
kamala rangara surya—
sakala nabinata hoichi
suryamukhi sathire
|
orange sun--
morning freshens with
a sunflower
