করোটির কবিতা

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

জানালার গর্ভে ক্ষয়িষ্ণু আকাশ, ঘোরাফেরা
ফাঁকা তো লাগবেই, চাঁদের ফালাফালা বাতাস
তদুপরি তরল হয়ে গেলে জ্যোৎস্নাও শান্ত অগ্নি
এক্ষেত্রে পাঠককে সৌন্দর্য্যের একধাপ ওপরে
সেতারের তারগুলোর রিনিঠিনি শ্রবণের অভ্যাস প্রয়োজন
গঙ্গাবক্ষে কৌমার্য্য কৃষ্ণচূড়ার মতো ঝরে
মৃত শহীদদের বাজানো সেতার
তিনভাগে ভাগ করা যেতে পারে, নিশ্চিহ্ন হবার সময়:
১. লম্বচ্ছেদ, ২. প্রস্থচ্ছেদ, ৩. তড়িৎচ্ছেদ
পাঠক, এত টিপটিপ করে ঝরলাম
কারন, সময়ের ত্রিশূল: আপনি, আমি কেউই হজম করতে পারিনি
তদুপরি আমি চতুর্ভূজা, রক্তজবার মত জিহ্বা, মুণ্ডপরিহিতা
এবং পদতলে স্থান, কাল ও পাত্র,
ব্রহ্মের এই অগণন ডিমের বিন্যাস নক্ষত্রময়
যে হাসতে হাসতে জরায়ুতে গ্রহন ও বর্জন করে
সন্ধ্যারতির মত উঁকি মারে করোটির কবিতা।

Looking at the hat

And the wind walked in front like time. Homework was undone for long. And evening bells kept on talking to the last trace of light. It was important since a flower was about to come. This was the message from smell. Like a butterfly it goes and enters spring. Where are those books? After school, college they went to the library and the librarian went for holiday hoping that sea had not retired so far, and in Vietnam there was a small hut open for likeminded strangers. Time always travels away from it and further towards its inside and when I saw Chen, I remembered May, first. Now I remember that the librarian was calculating crosswords and suddenly he found the name Suzanne. And am sure the racks for old newspapers like always listen to raindrops, when those old papers are wet. I was travelling in a bus to university and it was clear by then. Economics is not a positive science, not even aesthetic science. So I saw Chen seated on a rock. Chen must have known that there is a relation be...

There is no start. So the end is also meaningless. My life is more a metaphor than a visual thing. And it is for this reason I touched it by dint of metaphors…that is my life itself. Most of us remain in a state of material inertia unless there is a flash of blue light that burns the sleeping body and let soul look at it in its own eyes. So I woke up one night or was I still sleeping? And I went into another sleep, another awakening in another sleep. The ether always hits soul like a blue wave…the same way I was bathing in a river. I guess life is a river that merges with its own longing for ethereal streams. I often watched the sky, space, stars in those eyes that seek bathing in light, breeze and all the ethereal charms…So I needed metaphors, I needed constant excitement, flashes, sparks. I was always interpreted as mysterious, arrogant, penetrating, enigmatic, stupid person. But our social constructs are so weak that it itself surrenders to rejoice. Yes. I seduced others. They are m...

Memory of Yangzi

Chanting. But wonderfully the music is revolving, splashing within and outside. A tension that perpetuates like a trekking through forest. From far and suddenly from near a trace of light. The leaves as you may wish, keep dancing like water dances when a young river hugs rocks facing its way. I am not the audience. I am not the performer. I am the eyes of the audience and lips of the performer. You are the secret music that controls my senses. Chanting. You occupy my mind and body like air occupies a flute. And dissolved into your whims I play. You know more. I raise more. You wonder about your smell that ancient graphics absorbs and becomes a code of whisper. I can’t be chained and yet I am. I can’t be frozen so you look outside of the cloud. I can’t be compact so you secretly desire. I am not the audience. I am not the performer. I am the eyes of the audience and lips of the performer. Play relentlessly the Pipa. That calls me. Play indomitably the flute. That enervates ...
