Stoniness

A Poem by Malay Roychoudhury
"

Stones in midnight

"

Stoniness

Midnight may be called a kind of colour dogs dislike

stones too despise being locked up whole life within its breast

if picked up by someone at midnight it hurts their solid guilt feeling

it wakes up and listens to the dog’s moans

why is there such difference with a dead snail which even after death

has the right to nurture her lover’s gestures inside heart

probably because of blessings of sighs of couples

even a drunkard would not throw a dead snail at a dog

would abuse if he steps on it and hurts himself

but that is done by all lovers amid busy crowd

in the flesh of the snail whispers of his lover

continuously  resonate to  respond to sex-waves

pity the stone without a female organ

( Translation of Pathorata )
