(Translated from
Bengali by Shankar Sen)
Would anyone now at this late hour
stretch his hand to me?
In the thickets around my recollection
a deer weeps in sheer desolation.
Dry leaves crushed inside my chest.
The night like poison, bitter and sour.
Undecided I stand,
a culvert close at hand.
I turn my eyes and see
the culvert falls like a crumbling
tower.
Shall I happily enter this homestead?
On a doorframe I hit my head.
I stand outside my face dejected.
Baring sharp fangs the wolves glower.
