Melancholy

Atul Chandra Sarkar

If anything I know well,
Is how to turn my melancholy,
Into thoughts, my thoughts,
To words, my words to lines,
My lines to couplets,
My couplets to stanzas,
My stanzas to poems,
My poems to gauze,
To cover my wounds,
Staring through,
The loose open weave,
With red eyes.
