Bouquet by Partha Protim Banerjee

My father is no more

mother too is ailing now

chance to recapitulate

the old mind space with

erratic behaviours and irreverent ideas

Cross words

fail to fulfill the time commitments

mind-space call for

more puzzles, more freedom

or may be an absolute excuse

to prove that

smaller kids don't have faith in God.

On mind's request

I may need to pamper myself

with a long, very long walk

from memory lane

to Gomes lane

to neutralize the reality of

not getting dreams these days

my mother is still alone!
