Afghanistan 2

Chaitali Chattopadhyay 

Translated by Shyamashri Ray Karmakar 


The Gun has aimed the quiet back. 

The  Gun is killing the songs. 

The  Gun is destroying abodes and

The  Gun is tearing apart truth. 

The  Gun is  erasing the story scripted on the celluloid. 

The  Gun is throwing away all the laughter, that are feminine. 

The  Gun has picked up the art, the art that once created the serene...

 The  Gun has spread the thorns on the wide road...

The  Gun will commence its speech, others will fall asleep...

 The Gun has kissed the dead forehead, an endless kiss...
