LOST WORLD*
 |
| Lost World (poem by Anuradha Bhattacharyya) |
The leaves on the grass shed
Off the branches,
The pearl in the sand taken
From the oyster,
The gurgle from the spring
Separated,
The young from its home
Gone riding to the farthest
End of inspiration,
Wiping out all traces of its descent,
Wiping out the froth
Of past glory.
In its travel down the sky,
In its affinity with the grass,
It sings to the sand
A ballad
Spun from utopian dreams –
Forgetting becomes a melody
Without festering fetters,
A calm claim to live a new planet.
