That
River

| The river Subansiri |
That river of my
village flows
Like the humming of
bees
Whose sweet streams
Captivates my
vagabond soul.
Sometimes
Amidst the pettiness
of day-to-day life
I feel: the dreamlike
vastness
Of that thin river
Memory streaks flood
The blind sky.
That beautiful river
Of my village
Still flows
Far far away.
