SUTANUKA GHOSH ROY, INDIA (Peace Poem)

Sutanuka Ghosh Roy

Rhododendrons

With clouds in the pockets of the overcoat

orange wedges in the mouth

saunter around the ridge of the mountains

trying to cement the cracks in the cold palm.

The cautious arthritic knees stagger on the rocky pebbles

forgets the balance and falls on the shoulders

of the Rhododendrons

touching the sky.
