“Doc was into his own apprenticeship as a skip tracer, and each, gradually locating a different karmic thermal above the megalopolis, had watched the other glide away into a different fate.”

“আমাকে সে নিয়েছিলো ডেকে;
বলেছিলো: ‘এ নদীর জল
তোমার চোখের মত ম্লান বেতফল:
সব ক্লান্তি রক্তের থেকে
স্নিগ্ধ রাখছে পটভূমি;
এই নদী তুমি।
‘এর নাম ধানসিঁড়ি বুঝি?’
মাছরাঙাদের বললাম;
গভীর মেয়েটি এসে দিয়েছিলো নাম।
আজো আমি মেয়েটিকে খুঁজি;
জলের অপার সিঁড়ি বেয়ে
কোথায় যে চলে গেছে মেয়ে।”

“To a Depressed Friend
Sometimes, to make sure
You're still here,
Look up for cloud sustenance.
Be sure they are
Different from yesterday,
From an hour ago,
From when you were 15
And sky didn't matter
Because only pretty girls did.
Note how cumulus
Will be looking down
And naming what
Kind of human you're
Shaped like: mailman,
Archaeologist, student of rain.
On clear nights, rely on starlight.
Pentacles. Pulses.
Further proof of existence.”
