[Sine Die]
The swans play here at Mexico Bay
While the Swallow winks and looks upward
The amble at the riverbank the bucolic green the petrichor
The rickshaw-ride the ride on raft the ride on shuttle
Go silent Grow no color anymore
The rain drops at the far Bay of Bengal
And washes the Karnafully The Golf club and the Tong Ghor

[2020]
And then the microbes
I need a mask to date!
Buy a Pulse oximeter
Buy hand sanitizer
Social distancing From Karnafully to Mississippi
Forced Quarantine for 14 days
And then get a false report by BDT 5000
Untouchables the corpses the hosts

[2018 & 2019]
The sky sheds tears in the farthest village
Ma gives a sigh and drops a tear
Abar kobe ashbi tui?
A sudden long unheard voice floats
Will you come back at all?
The Boeing B777-300 roars like a lion

[2010]
A timid hare passes by Hotel Noorjahan
You always miss the chances
Distrust larks like the microbes
2005 BMW 325XI was in a hurry
The air blew like a fury
The levee is no more
(1)
Can rain wash memory?
Can rain wash the false report?
I NEED AN ERASER
I NEED AN ERASER
