Sonnet Mondal - India
From the Bow of Battle
Sitting with backs to each other
two worlds converge in the borderline
of an estuary with the ocean of skies.
Thinking as a lazy habit fails to decide
the course of waters ready to flow
like sprinters waiting for gun fire.
A haze in the western sky blocks
vision which returns like wounded soldiers
from an ongoing battle.
From the swelling land nickel plated rain
drops jump to life and fall to shadows
in the half eaten darkness
still fighting with watered-down rays.
