Cosmic household
Abin Roychoudhury
Wherever I go, my sad household comes along. He sits next to me on the train, smiles. His chubby cheeks flash a sweet dimple. Some days we play ‘Fire! Fire!’, some days we sit on the swing of ‘strange silence’ and gently move together. He falls asleep holding me tight — my adorable household. I look at his sleepy eyes and suddenly see … from inside his eyes a rainbow-like dinghy flies away toward my cosmic household clutching me on its beak … to the mystery of a Do-Re-Mi field of dreams …
মহাজাগতিক সংসার
অবিন রায়চৌধুরী
যেখানেই যাই আমার সঙ্গে সঙ্গে যায় আমাদের বিষণ্ন সংসার। ট্রেনে আমার পাশে এসে বসে সে,মৃদু হাসে।ওর তুলতুলে গালে আশ্চর্য টোল পড়ে।এক একদিন আমরা আগুন আগুন খেলি,এক একদিন ‘অচিন নিস্তব্ধতা’র দোলনায় দুলতে থাকি সারারাত… ঘুম এলে আমাকে জড়িয়ে ধরে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ে আমার লাজুক সংসার। আমি ওর ঘুমন্ত চোখে চোখ রেখে সহসা দেখি—ওর চোখের ভেতর থেকে একটি রামধনুর মতো ডিঙি নৌকো আমায় ঠোঁটে নিয়ে উড়ে যাচ্ছে ওই মহাজাগতিক সংসারটির দিকে….ওই তাতা থৈথৈ তেপান্তরের রহস্যে…
