A Creature of Three HeadsA Poem by Ujjal Mandal
That night the moon was not distinct.
I had to stop my cart in the forest, not enough light to run. It was then midnight. I felt sleepy and at sudden a bleary figure passed by me; I made a quick run to and fro but fell" and I heard someone came flying on the skeletal branches" a dark bird of three heads eating a piece of flesh and some Latin words carved on its wings: 'homo fuge, hac nocte tuum est'. Oh, it was scary with the naked eyes to look at! © 2023 Ujjal Mandal |
