Love Returns and Does Not Return

A Poem by Malay Roychoudhury

About a woman who fell in love but went away to return as soul after her death to take revenge.

Love Returns or Love Does Not Return

Saw you Abontika squatting on a milestone in gracious moonlit midwinter

your back and chest still carrying 44 year old dust and dry grass

wail mark of rashes  all over your body due to moon’s crime, aha, result of peity

you were shivering may be due to a vortex of hookworm in abdomen

your ivy strand golden hair flowed down your shoulders up to waist

seated on the sign-stone completely naked on third day of November

guides of death in guise of mosquitoes sang Death Metal around your head

you do not remember the last lover who deserted you at this place.

I said, ‘Abontika, do you still possess the 9mm pistol

with which you had killed me ?’

Waving your Naxal hand you brought down the pistol from air and

emptying all bullets on my chest you said,’Ya, here it is !’

I scooped out  44 year old bullets from my chest and placed on your invisible hand�"

You said, ‘That’s good, we shall meet again Comrade.’

( Translation of Prem Pherey Pherey Naa )
