Anindita Bose

A Good Play

A play in darkness sparkling episodes of life

momentum created to walk together

in stream of consciousness with words and gestures

echoing truths wrapped in patterns

hopelessly witnessing a surreal reaction of

nerves, tissues, muscles and multiple organs

a need to connect a wish to reach out yet failing to curb barriers

created since nascent ages.

Who will believe in ideas that you show

unless an attachment grows?

Words are mere shadows that fade out

after moments of meetings.
