When Each and Every Star falls ------ As an electric flow of - TopicsExpress



          

When Each and Every Star falls ------ As an electric flow of song passes Through a wire of my brain Your name too flows in the selfsame way Through each of my artery and vein, I try to etch your -yet-unknown name On the waters of a flowing river With the nails of my aroused fingers. When each and every star falls From the dark expanse of the sky, A dark face comes down to sit on my body And suffocates it. The shadow of its enormous breast Falls on your name And slowly engulfs the ever-going river; Eternity and the shadow becomes one As its fingers gradually rub out your name. ---------------------- Adapted version of one of my early poems written in Assamese.
