CHOUDHURI SUKUMAR - Talajuri

As if fairies
Moonlight appeared from childhood in groups
After twenty-five years
The foreigner train was stationed in Indrabeel
Within the sizzling dances of them
As if love
The cool breeze moved along the jungle-lily
Laugh and color

The crops from the fields were kissing our feet
And running over the edges of the field
Like a village girl
My mother uttered:
'See, that is Shivtala, Candle flames
On the temple, jungle of tal
The wreath of fireflies
There is Talajuri
There is.............

Not moonlight but the lights
From the pole star were
Glittering on her face
And her eyes were showered with
Memoirs..pleasure...emotions.....
