CHOUDHURI SUKUMAR - Mahua......

From Goan shores Jayanto returned a stale memoir and fenny……..
Now to me this day’s adjuncts appear clearer than the stale memoir
So no Bajajnagar, I accompanied Director Chaitali Raju
to reach Butibori
With laid back settings much like contented sleep,
somewhat soothing and cool,
Mist wrapped, distant…………
Unreachable to any handset

The engrossed poets still enjoy drinking binge
Till date it had been gallons of drinks such as rum, whiskey and gin,
Vats of cold beer, vodka and mohua..bines….
Leaving the adjuncts such as colourful jars
and swinging cut glass, mugs
No fluid could truly draw me close to its colour
Red and white and yellow as gold
Rather sensuous flesh became bon apetit sometimes……………
Sometimes, because the olfactory chase too did never suit my class

So this day no Bajajnagar, I accompany Director Chaitali Raju
and reach Butibori
With laid back settings much like contented sleep,
somewhat soothing and cool,
Mist wrapped, distant…………
Unreachable to any handset
