BUBBLES OF PHYCHE, 2005, APPL, Dhaka

TO MY CITY CROW
- BUBBLES OF PHYCHE, 2005, APPL, Dhaka

O sweet bird!
You are the Aurora of my city
You sing
I am blessed with another day

People crave for cuckoo
but I for you;
The least egotistic
Innocent of innocents.

You carry dark on back
White shines after you;
You smile
The city is again clean.

Poor tailor! Please shelter
Beneath my cracking cornice
If rain goes lazy
In this deadly deforested dry city.
