The Poetry of Nibedita Sen in Hudson View
Billboards
Nibedita Sen
One step more
And we fall into the valley of magic
Laughter frothing over deep dark chalice
Crystal bubbles spilling into garden of moon
Here songs bathe in shallow rhythms of existence
Fragrant teardrops sweeten
Paper lilies with unleashed lies
We have come at the edge
Of a dream
One step
And we fall into the valley of desires
Skyscrapers wrap the studded sky
Earthy calls long to touch the zenith of hope
Naked children huddle together
Under a dream-spangled coverlet
Watch billboards
Change overnight.
Watercolor by Amitabh Mitra
