The old house under the Bamboo
The monsoon that broke into old house
Not only the raindrops that bounced on the floor
but also the tears of melancholy that lost in the mud
the rice that was just set about Oof !
the fire has been murdered by cruel drops of rain ................
The child who was about to set for dreams
brushed into tears of affliction
His grandfather diseased with Asthma fainted
for the air , his grandmother who hardly stood
out of support felt on the floor.......
The small canal which passed few yards
in front of house raised out of brim ; sinister
is the fate of shrubs which were drowned ........
who would hear the cry of those innocent wood
planks floating over the waterbed and those
fresh paddy shrubs swept away with the water
current ...................
Now , the storm felt in crescendo , house
tiles flew like a dry leaf swinging in the air
Oof ! the child in dyspnoea exhausts for help
company is his grandfather who loses himself
the lamp in woman's grip stiff but fibbed enough
for those bamboos struck upon them burying into
a single graveyard.............
