Pond of My Tears

by Sonnet Mondal


Catching fish,

One, two, three.

Three in three tips…

My grandfather didn’t applaud me,

Not a matter for him.

Catching daily

Whenever I am here

Or I used to be here…

For the place remains

No more alike.

They have grown old

And I fear going to water alone

No, not for the black, blue, green waters

But for the alarm of

Melancholic nostalgia

That would coil me

Like a python…

Grip me and throw me

And ingest my patience

My things to cherish….

My tears will form another pond beside now

Perhaps then I will be fishing in it.
