[১]
মহাকাশে ছুটে চলা আলো
চাঁদের কাছে ঘাড় ঘুরিয়ে এসে চুমু খেলো
ঘড়ির টিকটিক বোঝে সময়ের প্লবতা
বান আসে চোখের জোয়ারে
এত সরলরেখা গোধূলীর জালে আঁকা
তবু এত সুনীল বক্রতা রেখে যাও ঈগলের সঞ্চারপথে।

[২]
আমরা সবাই পথভ্রষ্ট আপেলের বীজ
তাই হাত ছেড়ে যেতে গিয়েও
পিছন ফিরে ছায়ার চলন ও গমন দেখি
চোখের কোনায় জানি,
জলের মতো একসময় বিন্দুর মত ভাস্কর হয়ে যাবে।

[৩]
লোহার বলের মত গড়িয়ে দেওয়া ট্রাম
স্নায়ু কামড়ে ঠোঁটে ঠোঁট ঘষে চলে
তুমি রাগ করে ঘন্টা বাজিয়ে নামনি
এই অপারগ স্নায়ুপথে আপনমনে হাটছিলে
কোনার সীটে বসে তখন আমার রিগর মর্টিস হলো।

[৪]
তুমি বক্ষপিঞ্জর থেকে গেছো সরে
হয়তো কোনো ফড়িঙের নীলডাঙ্গা অন্তরে
আমিও রাতপাখীর কোটরের বাইরে
পরিভ্রমণরত খালাসিটোলার খুঁজে হাঁতড়ে হাঁতড়ে
আকাশকে টেবিলে শুইয়ে ফোরসেপ করি নোঙ্গরে নোঙ্গরে।

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...

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 ...

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...
