CHOUDHURI SUKUMAR - Stop Press

The purview was scandalous
Was afraid, uneasy too.
Coaxing even the absent
A tricky cover was there, very shrewd...

whatever fantasy remained in both haunts,
Telecode, in wretched worship,
so bottomless has been the erotica
the chat wanting harness
the cacophony
I thought, why so much vigor did not pitch
Like Marathi sunlight..

There was possibility,
A scope for expanse
In growing solitude.

That it did not happen
Has been our own philosophy
Riding up south or north poles sometime
the boomerang appeared
The longest ice-age was hidden under mighty stones..


The purview was scandalous..
