Analysis of Lovers
Srutimala Duara 1964 (Guwahati, Assam)
With the setting of the sun
birds fly in waves
The sea throws the moon
into the darkness
Like a sickle it hangs over the field
where lovers lie in each other's arms
sighing and wishing
the sun would be caught
in some fisherman's net
And dawn would never dawn
